Break from Christmas on the grid to bring you some spring excitement! 2300 tulip bulbs planted today!
Tulips are a tough one for any flower farmer to grown not because they are hard to grow but because no one understands the value of a single stem! Generally if you grown tulips (not on an industrial scale) you make a loss ... to put it in perspective I have to sell every single tulip stem for £2.75 to make a 20p profit, which is used for wages. So to make a real profit each stem would need to be around £3.50!
So why grow them? They are beautiful and British outdoor naturally grown tulips frankly just hit different! And I can only hope and help with the education around the real cost of flowers by being honest and transparent!
So come spring support your local grower, buy their tulips and pay a fair price
