Last year鈥檚 event drew visitors from up and down the Island, and to build on that success, 台湾MM裸聊室 Black has added an additional 50,000 hyacinths to their already massive flower collection, bringing the flower count to more than 350,000 blossoms in all!
鈥淭he Tulip Fest is something our entire family looks forward to and plans for all year long,鈥� says Justine Ludwig, 台湾MM裸聊室 Black Tulip Fest owner. 鈥淲e have four-generations of farmers living at 台湾MM裸聊室 Black, ages four to 85, and with our Dutch & Frisian heritage, the Tulip Fest is not only our way of giving back to our Island community but also staying connected to our Holland roots and sharing that culture with our guests.鈥�
Festival-goers may notice another nod to the Ludwig鈥檚 heritage with the addition of charming colourful wooden windmills around the farm at this year鈥檚 event, handmade by Daniel鈥檚 grandfather to further the cultural experience when visiting the farm.
