In the summertime we ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ด ๐๐๐น๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ฏ๐๐น๐ฏ๐. Check out this video showing behind the scenes views of our 2026 tulip bulb harvest.
Tulips are perennials and will continue to bloom year after year in the same spot in a garden. However, since we grow our tulips not only for you to enjoy the beautiful blooms when you visit each spring, but also for you to have bulbs to plant in your own garden, we dig them up.
The bulbs, after digging, are cleaned and graded, then stored in climate controlled storage until optimum planting time in the fall.
Grading involves removing the soil, stems, and debris that come up along with the tulip bulbs during the digging process. We also discard any tulip bulbs that are damaged or soft, which often indicates disease.
The shaker table that you see in the video really helped us clean the tulip bulbs, and cut down our cleaning/ grading time significantly.
๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ง๐๐น๐ถ๐ฝ ๐๐๐น๐ฏ๐ is not a hard job, but definitely an important one in the process of growing tulips.
