Past Spring Ruigrok Flowerbulbs has been busy with a new project: The Tulip Barn.
The Tulip Barn originally started as a place to offer tourists an alternative to make pictures in the middle of the Dutch tulip fields. Over a million tourists travel to the Dutch Flower Bulb region every Spring, to admire the flower fields. They love the tourists and think it’s amazing that so many people from all over the world are interested in the tulip fields. However, there is also a downside to the many visitors. People nowadays are willing to do anything for the perfect picture, resulting in lots of tourist who are standing in the middle of the flower fields, not knowing they are causing damage to the crops.
To offer the tourists a place where they can make as many pictures as they please, Ruigrok Flowerbulbs created an ‘’Instagram Tulip Field’’. They planted over 400.000 tulip bulbs in the shape and colors of a rainbow and added different objects to make fun pictures with. Every color of the rainbow is included in their tulip field and consists of a carefully composed mix of different tulip varieties.
In addition, they created a small restaurant in their authentic greenhouse, for people to enjoy a cup of coffee or something to eat, while cycling along the tulip fields.
Due to the COVID-related traveling measures, they mainly received Dutch visitors and expats this year. For next year, they are planning on making their experience bigger and better. Ruigrok Flowerbulbs hopes to receive a lot of people from all over the world and make them as excited about Spring flowers as they are.
