On the 3rd Saturday of January (21 Jan 2023) we celebrate National Tulip Day, the beginning of the tulip season.
This year we have an extra celebration, the 10th anniversary of the picking garden.
To make it extra special, we have a new location: the Museumplein, Amsterdam. The tulipgarden will open at 13.00.

Our theme is 'Typical Dutch'.
The Dutch are known for tulips. They are one of the largest exporters of tulips. In the center of Amsterdam we will have a traditional Dutch party with tens of thousands of Dutchies and tourists.
Everyone is welcome to pick a free bunch of tulips.
Our tulips will be on sale all over starting on National Tulip Day.

At 13.00 the tulip picking garden opens to the public and you can pick your own bunch of tulips. The garden closes when the tulips are gone. Don't wait too long, join the queue.

What do you do with the bulb?
Is the bulb still attached to the flower?
The bulb has given all the energy to make the tulip shine, so the bulb will not bloom again.
What do you do with the bulb then? Leave the bulb attached to the tulips and place them in a vase with a small layer of water. Or cut the tulip bulb (obliquely) from the stem and place the tulips in a vase with plenty of clean water.
You can use one big vase or a small amount of tiny vases. And enjoy the happiness of tulips.

Place the tulips in paper in the vase for an hour. The tulips then absorb water and straighten up.
Choose a clean vase which is high enough as tulips will continue to grow a few more centimeters.
Cut about 1.5 cm (1inch) from the bottom of the stem.
Keep the tulips away from fruits and bright sun.
Tulips drink a lot of water, so top up the vase regularly.
