Wicked Tulips Flower Farm In Rhode Island Will Completely Transform When The Flowers Bloom This Spring
Spring is in full swing in Rhode Island at last, which means it won’t be long before the tulips are in bloom. There’s no better place to tiptoe through the tulips than Wicked Tulips Flower Farm, a beloved gem in Exeter. Visiting this place is a time-honored tradition for many New Englanders, and it’s a tradition that will continue in the future. In the meantime, learn more about the history of this beautiful farm and enjoy a virtual tour.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Keriann and Jeroen Koeman moved to Rhode Island in 2015 with an established tulip business. They started Wicked Tulips that same year, eventually EcoTulips.com with Wicked Tulips Flower Farm.
Rhode Island's climate happens to be perfect for growing tulips, which is one of the reasons they settled here.
The main field is mixed with more than 100 varieties of tulips, each of which show at slightly different times and allow for a fuller field and longer blooming period.
Guests can purchase tickets, which are good for picking 10 tulips. Each tulip after that is $1 per stem. While you can bring your own scissors or clippers, they won't be necessary.
Then, in October, the seeds are planted and the cycle begins again.
However, you can still tour the property virtually. For a $10 donation (which helps keep the tulip farm's employees employed), you'll be granted access to a private Facebook group and get access to all things tulip-related all season long.
In the meantime, we're thankful we'll be able to view them from home.
It’s more important than ever to support our wonderful local businesses. For a true visual treat, learn how to view these tulips virtually.
