Tulips at Timbuk

Timbuk Farms, known for its top-notch Christmas tree farm, has embraced spring by planting 500,000 tulips on 4 acres in a variety of colors and species. Blooms are expected to start in mid-April, lasting through early-May, weather depending. Easter is late this year, so it could be a great place to get some Easter photos and blooms!

Stroll through the vibrant fields, taking photos of your favorite blooms, while you gather blooms for a bouquet to take home. Whether you’re a flower enthusiast or just looking for a fun weekend outing, the festival offers a delightful experience for all ages.
