Tulip Time hosting potted bulb sale to benefit festival programming
You can help keep Holland's iconic blooms growing by bringing a piece of the festival to your own front porch! Tulip Time is kicking off its annual potted tulip sale, a fundraiser that directly supports the festival's programming and immersive exhibits.

Orders must be placed online and picked up at the Holland Parks Department today or tomorrow, so act quickly if you want yours. Secure your order at tuliptime.com.
