Lakeland Flowers returns with a three-month cascade of flowers, beginning with the Abbotsford Tulip Festival. Positioned as Canada’s premiere tulip festival with 35 acres of tulips and lupins, the fields are set to create another remarkable display of colour.
“Our favourite time of year is approaching, and we are excited to connect with everyone again,” says Nick Warmerdam, owner of Lakeland Flowers. “We have some new photo opportunities along with bringing back fan favourites.”
New this year are four golden pathways, giant klompen (traditional Dutch shoes) and the schoenen winkel (Dutch shoe store). Returning favourites include pianos to play in the fields, canoes to sit in, swings to glide on, bicycles and viewing platforms.
