Tulip Valley Farms

A family-built, guest-focused tulip farm in Skagit Valley, created to offer a more immersive and welcoming way to experience spring.

Tulip Valley Farms exists to make visiting the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival feel joyful, accessible, and memorable. From how guests arrive and park to how they explore the fields, everything here was designed with people in mind.

Families, photographers, locals, and first-time visitors are all invited to slow down, step into the rows, and experience tulips up close.

Tulip Town

In 2019 another generation of Skagit Valley natives decided it was time to return home and give back to the community that raised them by purchasing Tulip Town to carry its rich tradition into the future for many more to enjoy. 

Their goal is to keep this farm in good agricultural production. Excellent landscaping techniques are featured throughout the farm, with apple trees, gardens, nursery trees, annuals and perennials. They’re always striving to maintain top quality products and keep the farm a strong agricultural statement the community can be proud of.

RoozenGaarde

RoozenGaarde is a world renown spring time destination featuring a beautiful 5+ acre display garden in addition to over 50 acres of fields filled with tulip and daffodil blooms. The garden is annually redesigned and replanted so that each spring season features an entirely new floral layout. Approximately 200 tulip types and 50 daffodil varieties fill the garden in addition to flowering rivers of muscari, an assortment of hyacinths, and other specialty flowers.

Located in the scenic Skagit Valley (one hour north of Seattle, WA and one hour south of Vancouver, BC), thousands of visitors travel to RoozenGaarde each spring to witness the beauty of our bloom during the annual Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. This event runs from April 1 – April 30 each year, but our bloom does not always perfectly coincide with these dates; bloom dates are according to Mother Nature. Ironically, the name RoozenGaarde translates to Rose Garden in our native Dutch language, but the tulips we grow are synonymous with both the Roozen family and the Skagit Valley.

Beyond our spring display, RoozenGaarde also ships fresh cut tulips all across the United States every week of the year – and delivery is always overnight! From our farm to your home overnight. Tulips don’t get any fresher or better quality. Flower bulb orders can be placed throughout the spring, summer, and fall months and ship at the appropriate time for planting – typically the month of October for most of the United States. We pre cool shipments for our warm and hot zone customers and ship those orders in November and December.

RoozenGaarde is open year round to the public. Most of our visitors arrive throughout the spring bloom but we also feature a smaller assortment of dahlias and zinnias in bloom during the summer months. Always worth stopping by if you are in the area!
