Skagit Tulip Festival

We visited the Skagit tulip Festival April 18 – 20, based in Mt. Vernon, Washington. While Mother
Nature can change the peak viewing during April, we were there at an optimum time. The next
day they started topping the tulips which they do after the peak blooms to divert all energies
into healthy and robust bulb development. We visited multi – acre fields and the RoozenGaarde,
all spectacular. Tulip viewing is normally limited to April, but note that there is a daffodil festival
in this same area in March.
