About this event
Nothing heralds the arrival of spring quite like tulips, with their dazzling colours, elegant forms, and delicately ruffled petals. At Forde Abbey, we plant thousands each year, and this season promises a spectacular burst of colour throughout the gardens. Carefully selected early, mid, and late-flowering varieties will ensure a continuous display from the start of April through to early May. Thoughtful combinations in warm, uplifting tones will greet visitors at every turn, while drifts of wild species tulips have been woven into other areas to sit beautifully alongside the wildflower meadows. Be sure not to miss our much-loved Tulip Swirl, a true highlight of the season. Every year, thousands of visitors travel from near and far to experience the display, and we look forward to welcoming you to enjoy it with us.
