Tulips & Tubers is a free, independent directory of the places to see, pick, and buy tulips and dahlias in northwest Washington. It covers Skagit, Whatcom, Island, and San Juan Counties, from the Skagit Valley tulip fields to small dahlia farms on Camano, Whidbey, and Orcas.
Flower season here runs on a calendar most visitors don't know. Tulips bloom in April. Dahlias bloom from late July until the first hard frost. The most popular dahlia tubers sell out in minutes during winter and spring sales, months before planting. Many of the best growers are small family farms with no storefront, so they're easy to miss if you only search a map.
This site puts those growers in one place, organized by county and by what each farm actually offers, whether that's a display garden, a u-pick field, a self-serve flower stand, or an online tuber sale that ships.
Each listing is researched from the farm's own website, social media, and published event pages. Where a farm doesn't publish a street address, for example a home-based grower that ships tubers or welcomes visitors by appointment only, we leave the address off on purpose.
Farm details change from year to year, so please confirm hours, sale dates, and bloom conditions with the farm before you drive out. If you spot something out of date, the "Is this your listing?" link on each listing page sends us a correction, and anyone can reach us through the contact page.
A basic listing is free for any tulip or dahlia grower, farm stand, or tuber seller in the four counties. Add your listing and it will be reviewed, usually within a couple of days. Ads on the site are labeled as ads and kept separate from the listings.
Tulips & Tubers is run independently by Reid Partlow in Whatcom County. It isn't affiliated with the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival or any of the farms listed.
