The Tulip Trail at Blooms & Berries

The Tulip Trail is a new springtime event at Blooms & Berries Farm. This picturesque experience features a half-mile walking trail lined with a quarter-million tulip bulbs in a variety of colors and sizes.

The tulip is a symbol of hope, and this is a story of perseverance. For three years, we’ve dreamed of adding a tulip event, but the challenges were ever present. Last fall, we decided not to take shipment of our strawberry plants due to lack of healthy plants. We realized this might be our chance to finally bring tulips to the farm, but our excitement was short-lived when we learned that a terrible production year in Holland left us without bulbs. We would have to wait until 2026.

Then, in early February, we chatted with our friend, Adrianne, in Maryland. She had taken delivery of half a million tulip bulbs in December but couldn’t get them planted in time. Her farm was frozen and snowed in. Desperate, we reached out to experts who gave us a glimmer of hope. Tulips usually need to be planted in fall, but with special cold treatment, they can be planted in early Springtime. Adrianne’s bulbs had been stored in a cold barn all winter—they were cold-treated and ready to go. We had until February 28th to plant them. So, we bought half of her bulbs, made a plan, and took delivery mid-February.

Our vision: create a stunning tulip walking experience along our half-mile gravel trail. In frozen conditions, we cleared invasive honeysuckle and multiflora rose from the woods, trucking in 1,350 tons of sand to cover the bulbs. Despite hail, thunderstorms, rain, snow, sleet and freezing cold, we spent the last days of February planting 250,000 bulbs, braving the elements every step of the way. We rebuilt the gravel roads and improved drainage in our parking lot, preparing for a spring event. Family members and artisans helped us design charming photo ops, and we named it “The Tulip Trail.” Our vision was becoming a reality.

Adrianne was able to plant her bulbs by hand in February as well, and through March, we were both checking bulbs daily. They were slow to emerge, but after three weeks, some began to sprout.

Due to the unique origins of our tulips, our season will be a little later than usual here in southwestern Ohio. With the warmer spring temperatures, it may go quickly, but we’re thrilled to share The Tulip Trail with you!
