- If you need a good chuckle today, this dorky video is for you. Last fall we had the chance to visit RoozenGaarde to see how they plant tulips on a massive scale. Jill, Chris, and I got to ride on The Pink Planter to see their new method (which is common practice in Holland) for planting tens of millions of tulip and narcissus bulbs. This will be a solid carpet of flowers come springtime and I can’t wait to come back in April when the tulips are in full bloom.

And now I KNOW I don't have to fuss with which side of my bulbs are up or down!
You literally don't have to worry about it. They will turn themselves around and head for the sun when they are ready.
My first reaction at reading the name was, "Oh is she in the Netherlands?" Such a Dutch name😄🩷🙌🏼
WOW, so interesting !! The best news is, so much for "pointy side up" and "not over crowding them" ~ I won't waste time with that any more!!
Few days ago I saw that Nicole from Flower Hill Farm didn't do the manual plant 1 bulb pointy side up at the time and actually did what they do but without the mesh. She did a trial last year to see what happend if you just spread out the bulbs in one layer close to each other without bothering turning the bulbs all in the same direction. And it worked perfectly. She didn't see a difference, they all came up. So she planted more than 10.000 bulbs in about 2 hours this year.And it seams that the place you went to, doesn't care also that the bulbs are not pointy side up when planted. That is really a big time saver.
This is SO cool! I’ve been working with them 12 years (I’m on the East Coast) and I’ve always wanted to see this. Ty for sharing !!! I want to ride too!
That was AWESOME!!! I’ve always wondered myself how they do this. RoozenGaarde is amazing and a true gem for us in the PNW. every year the colors through the valley are spectacular. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
I visit Skagit Valley for the tulips almost every year. You just showed us a secret. That’s so cool.
Oh how stinking fun is that!! So cool!! Love it!
this was so cool to watch
LOL why is this so exciting to watch!? I loved that you guys got to ride the tractor! I had no idea they used that netting, how cool is that! Thanks for bringing us along. 😍
So glad to find your Chanel. I’m checking every day to see if there’s something new.
That was amazing!!! Thank you. Never expected to be able to see anything like that. WOW what treasures there are in the Skagit valley!!!
Wow. What a great experience to be there and watch them work!
That was so cool! I have always wondered how they do that on such a large scale. I have thousands of photos from RoozenGaarde, and the surrounding fields, from over the years. One day I will actually plant my own. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Wow!!! So interesting 🤩
Thanks for the "Field Trip"! 😊💜
Super cool!
Best content!
Amazing! Thanks so much❤❤I love the skagit tulip fields, very interesting to see how it’s done. ❤️Mr. Rogers reference!
How fun! Like children in a chocolate factory. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you sooo much!
I've been to those fields and had no idea that's how it was done. 🎉❤
I'm planting my tulips today thank you so much for showing us this. I won't worry about bruising them or their tunic or pointy side up or not touching each other or any of that malarky anymore !!! They will find their own way regardless just like my anemones do because I can never figure out which way is up with those little knobbly things and they do just fine 🌷
That was so cool! Thank you!!
Very cool!
Very cool!! Thank you!!
Did you ever do a video of when the bulbs were harvested?
I wanted to watch the machine work
How to they get the root side down and the shoot side up in between the 2 plastic mesh sheets? looks like they dont and the tulips still turn out fine.
WHERE do all these bulbs come from and how are they grown?
Is the mesh plastic? If so, is it reused? 😢
So, you don't have to plant tulips facing a certain way - they don't have eyes or anything? Aren't most tulips sprayed or treated because fungus and disease are very problematic?
Hi, @notsomuchthankyou! We have a resource on our website that walks you through how we plant tulips here at Floret (www.floretflowers.com/resources/how-to-grow-tulips/). We'd recommend checking with your bulb supplier to find out if they treat their bulbs.
thank you! @@floretflowerfarm
They don’t plant by hand 🤯
