Tulips during the Earth Day opening of the Richardson Farm Tulip Festival on Wednesday, April 22. More than 1 million vibrant flowers in over 75 varieties will be in bloom. About 350,000 new tulip bulbs were planted in the fall of 2025 in a butterfly pattern near a private lake on the property, said George Richardson. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The festival typically lasts for two to three weeks, depending on the blooms. (Gregory Shaver/Gregory Shaver — Shaw Media)
