In 2018, I visited Wicked Tulips farm with a group of friends, not knowing what to expect. Despite the forecasted rain, we took a half-day off on Friday and drove from Boston to make it to our allotted slot. The beauty of the tulip fields left us utterly mesmerized. From that year onwards, visiting the farm became an annual tradition. When COVID hit, it was heartbreaking to miss our cherished tradition. However, I made a promise to myself that I would take my rainbow baby born that year to this magical field to celebrate her in the most colorful place I know. As she grows older, she eagerly asks about our next trip to the tulip farm, and the photos we take there have become the perfect birthday memento each year. This tradition has become a beautiful way to celebrate her life and the vibrant joy she brings into ours.🌷♥️🧿

In 2016 I saw a beautiful post on facebook from a friend and immediately asked her where it was. Days after, I went with my daughter and my niece, we loved it! I remember it was raining but we were so happy to be there we didn’t mind the rain. My daughter was 3 yrs old when we visited that time, we have been going every year ever since…. 2017 I was pregnant, 2018 took our twin boys for the first time… We have visited with my grandma, mom, sister and nieces and nephews! My daughter is now 12. Every spring we look forward to a beautiful week day when we pick up the kids in school, change (for the pictures🥰) and drive to the farm. It’s definitely one of our favorite traditions!

This tulip field is incredibly special to me. This was the last place my best friend and I visited before she was tragically taken from this world. At the time, I never knew it would be our final memory together, but somehow the universe gave us a perfect day. We laughed until our stomachs ached, captured beautiful photos, and brought home stunning tulips. I have since learned the yellow tulips symbolize friendship and everytime I see them, I think of her and the joy we shared at the tulip field. This place will forever hold a piece of my heart.

May 1 2016 was my first of many visits to the tulips over since you opened. It was my first Mother’s Day and my birthday month. I can’t remember how I heard but I heard a tulip field had opened in Rhode Island about 45 minutes away from my home. I have loved tulips since I was a teen, I’d prefer them over roses any day. I’ve dreamed of going to Holland some day. So I knew this was the perfect outing to celebrate a very special year. I didn’t know if you’d be here as a one hit wonder or be here for a long time so we had to go! We “all” went, my husband, our 5 month old daughter, my parents and grandparents, to go marvel at the tulips because there was nothing else for more perfect. It really was a dream come true for me. I was so happy to see varieties of tulips I’ve never seen in the states. It was truly a very happy day. I really treasure this outing in particular because it’s the only one of 2 times my husband has come with me. It’s not his thing but he’s been happy to support my going every year since. My grandparents have come a few more times but the walking has become too much so this years where they could go are locked in my memory. I have one photo of all of us from that first day, all bundle up, definitely looking like New Englanders, perhaps not cute but we had such a good time. Since then I’ve had 2 more babies. Kids are now 5,7,9. My mother and I typically go at least once together a season as my birthday/our Mother’s Day outing. We had years where we took all 3 kids and now we have one more spring with my littlest to come along for our week days visits. We typically opt for the weekdays and enjoy it most that way. I’ve taken friends with me, did my last babies 1 year old photos in the feild when we knew our family was complete. Often I visit more than once a season. I enjoy filling the house for a few special weeks with fresh tulips. I always make bouquets and gift them to my children’s teachers for teacher appreciation week. I’ve been caught out in the wild sporting both a tulip farm branded hat and water bottle unintentionally and been asked if I owned the farm.(I wish) but I talked way too long to this stranger about how amazing the farm is and how you all have grown over the years. I am really thankful for the tulip farm. I’ve always had nice interactions with the owners and all staff. I’ve been so glad to see you stabilize and adjust to some wild issues (dining flower wary on, covid, New England weather) This year, hubby gifted me a season pass for my birthday so I can go walk the fields as much as I wish. It’s the best gift ever! Tulip days are so special to me. I think I managed 4 last year without a pass. I’m excited to be unstoppable and walk and pick and buy as I wish this year. It’s a very happy way to celebrate 10 seasons of my very favorite spring activity, birthday and Mother’s Day tradition. Thank you so much! Let’s keep doing this til we are all very old and gray haired ..and then pass it on so the kids can go long after us. I wish you many many more decades of success.
