About Us
A blooming
husband & wife team
From a Dutch family of tulip growers to New England's largest u-pick tulip experience — meet Keriann & Jeroen Koeman.
How it all started
From EcoTulips to Wicked Tulips
Their first blooming business was called EcoTulips. It began in 2009 when Keriann, a self-described "green girl," met Jeroen Koeman, who hailed from a Dutch family of tulip growers. They fell in love, got married, and started EcoTulips LLC.
In September 2015, they moved from Central Virginia to Rhode Island and started their new endeavor, Wicked Tulips LLC. In 2018, they combined everything under the Wicked Tulips Flower Farm name.
Keriann is a native New Englander — Rhode Island's proximity to family and colder climate made it perfect for a tulip farm, a long-time dream of Jeroen's.
They host the largest u-pick tulip events in New England at two locations! You can tiptoe through acres of tulips and experience the sights, sounds and smells of spring. Bring home a fresh-picked bouquet of the most amazing tulips you've ever seen.

Our passion
Growing better — for the farm & the planet
When they started their business in 2009, the bulb industry had a long way to go towards becoming more eco-friendly. They decided then that they would purchase and sell certified organic bulbs until things improved. At that time, most Dutch bulb farmers were using neonicotinoids — known to harm bees — and there was a lack of focus on soil health.
They are happy to say that over a decade later, things are changing for the better. Soil health has become a priority with most farmers and neonicotinoids have been banned. As long-time vocal supporters of these issues, it is with great pride that they are seeing these best practices put in place.
Jeroen's two brothers, who still run the family tulip farm in Holland, are now members of a group of farmers actively working to significantly reduce pesticide use and improve soil health. They are incredibly proud to be part of these positive changes in the bulb industry.
As always, they will continue supporting farms that invest in environmentally friendly farming practices — which now means a more diverse selection of bulbs for the u-pick event and online store. They are so excited to share them with you!
