Look around and you can see all of the beauty early spring has to offer. The official beginning may not be until March 20, but flowers are beginning to burst forth, including Japanese Magnolias and azaleas.
What about tulips? You don’t have to travel to Holland, Michigan, which hosts one of America’s largest displays, to view an enormous field of the popular spring blooming perennials. There are 90,000 tulips in bloom just up the road in Shiloh, Georgia, located in northeast Harris County.
This weekend marks the annual Tulip Fest at Fields of Grace Flower Farm, located at 146 Ashmore Road in Shiloh. Tulip Fest begins Friday, March 13, from 3:00 pm until 7:00 pm, and Saturday and Sunday, March 14 and 15, from 11:00 am until 5:00 pm each day. The display is also open on the following two weekends, March 20 and March 27.
Besides strolling through the fields of tulips, the event also features local art vendors, food trucks, Kid’s Fun Zone, and STEAM activities. Admission is $14.95 for adults, $9.95 for children, and kids two and under are free.
Fields of Grace is a faith-based nonprofit ministry that provides a safe retreat for women who are hurting from any type of trauma, including miscarriages, loss of a spouse, child, or parent, mental or medical ailments, or those who lack a sense of belonging.
They also provide a serene environment and place for caregivers who are suffering from burnout and need a place to recharge and refocus.
Fundraising that comes from the beauty of Tulip Fest results in help for their mission and their restorative programs. U-Pick tulips are not included with admission and are priced separately while supplies last.
Tulip Fest at Fields of Grace Farm is a mission in action that helps others in need. The flower itself symbolizes love, happiness, and new beginnings. Don’t miss it!
