Tulips - RoozenGaarde

To celebrate Joe and his birthday, we drove about an hour north of here to enjoy the tulip fields. 

The Roozen family grows tulips on more than 1,200 acres in the Skagit Valley. The family first began raising tulips in Holland in the mid-1700s. William Roozen emigrated from Holland in 1947 with years of experience in the bulb industry. William's and Helen's children and grandchildren now run the family tulip business. source

RoozenGaarde has a display garden that is amazing with many varieties of tulips and colors that are awesome! According to their website, RoozenGaarde is the "biggest bulb grower" in the United States.
