Frequently Asked Questions

Accessibility

Do you have public transporation from GTA or Niagara?

Yes! Please contact: Jerome Peralta, Canaima Express, (416) 843-5721 or JTSaudi@yahoo.com. Pick up and return from Toronto, $75 (8am & 1pm) and Niagara, $20 9am, 1pm, 3pm. GTA: Scarborough Town Center, No Frills, Parkway Mall, St. George Subway Station, WholeFoods (Mississauga) as well perhaps passengers along the way.

Is the farm wheelchair accessible?

We've had many wheelchair users attend. Preferred parking and a port-a-john are on-site. While some paths are narrow, there's ample accessibility for enjoying the tulips. Note that it can be uneven and muddy if wet, offering a bit of a challenge for those up for it!

Are strollers allowed?

Yes, strollers are allowed, but maneuvering between rows may be cumbersome. We recommend using a carrier or backpack if you have one!

Is parking free?

Free on-site parking is available 15-30 minutes before your weekend ticket time, including handicapped and bus-accessible spaces.

Tulips

Can we pull up the bulb along with the flower?

No, picking or digging up the bulbs can be detrimental. The root system of the flower gets damaged, causing it perish as well as affecting nearby tulips. Additionally, picking the flower prevents the bulb from receiving the nutrients it needs to grow.

When will the tulips bloom and when are you opening?

We anticipate opening April 27th at 1:00pm and will remain open until the tulips are finished blooming. For field updates, please check our social media @tascgrowtogether. We'll closely monitor the blooms and keep you informed.

When is the best time to visit the tulip pick farm?

Weekdays offer a more serene atmosphere, making it potentially worthwhile to consider taking a day off from work. Keep in mind that tulips are only in season for a brief period each year, with each week showcasing a different aspect of their beauty:

Week 1: Longest Lasting Tulips
Week 2: Most Colorful Varieties
Week 3: Most Exotic Blooms

 

Can I purchase additional tulips

Certainly! Additional tulips are available for purchase. Each adult ticket includes 10 tulips, while weekday children's tickets come with 5 tulips. Feel free to pick more tulips at a cost of $1 per tulip, plus tax. Happy tulip picking!

When will the tulips be in full bloom?

Traditionally, the end of the first week signifies the peak bloom for a majority of tulips. However, our planting strategy incorporates early, mid, and late blooming varieties, ensuring a constant array of vibrant colors across the fields throughout the entire blooming season.

What happens to the old tulip bulbs at the end of the season?

We remove the old bulbs from the field. Each year, we replant with fresh bulbs to ensure consistent size and high-quality tulips.

Where do you acquire your tulip bulbs?

Our tulip bulbs are sourced directly from trusted bulb farmers in Holland with whom we've maintained a collaborative relationship for many years. This ensures that we consistently receive high-quality bulbs for our tulip fields.
