As the weather turns warmer the tulips at the Ashton Gardens begin to bloom! 2018 marks the 14th annual Tulip Festival and we want you to experience it. Come enjoy 280,000 tulips in hundreds of varieties, all imported directly from Holland. The 15 themed gardens throughout Ashton Gardens highlight different displays sure to bring out plenty of oohs and aahs! This is one festival you’ll want to have a camera handy for sure.
2018 includes many returning favorites such as the Swing Dance, Lyceum Philharmonic concert, Tulip Festival races, as well as new details for this year. Check below to find more information about these special events!

Don't forget to check out our historic and rare tulip bulbs at this year's festival. Some of our antique bulbs include:
Duc van Tol Red & Yellow - 1595
Once grown in gardens and forced for Christmas bloom, the ‘Duc van Tols’ are a fabled clan of fifteen varieties of pixie tulips and are a landmark variety in the whole amazing history of tulips.
Absalon - 1780
An intricately patterned late blooming tulip with swirling flames of dark chocolate and chestnut on gold in a group known as the ‘Dutch Bizarres’. Most people have never even seen a brown tulip, let alone one as superbly decorated as this.
Thank you to Hortus Bulborum for supplying the Antique Tulips in our display. Hortus Bulborum is a living museum in Limmen, Noord-Holland, Netherlands that is entirely devoted to the conservation of historic and rare bulb varieties.
There's ongoing fun to be had at Tulip Tot Playland! Visit on Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays for lawn games, bounce houses and more!
Monday Night Activities: 4 pm - 8pm
Join us for some education activities in the gardens with the whole family!
