As we’re still in the heart of winter, we begin to yearn for spring, and all that comes along with it! A favorite thing to do is visit one of the best tulip farms in CT: Wicked Tulips Flower Farm in the nearby town of Preston. Three outposts of this local flower farm are owned by a husband and wife team with roots in Holland to Dutch tulip farmers. They are also dedicated to growing all organic and sustainable fields.
Exploring the colorful and expansive tulip farms in CT is such a romantic and fun outing to add to your itinerary. Not only do these rows of rainbows set the perfect backdrop for a memorable photoshoot, but when you visit Wicked Tulips, you get to pick a bunch to take home with you. The farm visits only last for a few weeks out of the year, so it’s best to plan ahead!
Start your Spring getaway with an amazing home base, Stonecroft Country Inn, one of the top-rated Mystic Bed and Breakfasts for a restful and relaxing retreat.
