It's Opening Week At Wicked Tulips In Exeter, Rhode Island

This Image By Albright Photo

Yesterday we motored over to opening day at Wicked Tulips in Exeter and had a blast!

It was a little cloudy but those are the days that lead to the best (non-glare-y) photos.

And who wants to be sweating out in the hot sun while trying to pick tulips?

For starters, be sure to get your tickets in advance online. A friend of mine thought she could buy tix there and ended up disappointed. (The $15 price includes 10 tulips. If you want MORE, the charge is $1 per flower.)

In addition, you’ll want to wear some sturdy footwear. You know, ankle booties or wellies. Possibly a Doc Martin. No dainty shoes or ones that are too dear because it is muddy.

They have also added some NEW photo op spots this go ‘round including the red (mini) tractor in my photo above (the Wicked Tulips employee who took that pic turned out to be a professional photog…I mean, hot terrif is THAT?) as well as a cute rope swing.

PS — Both were wildly popular yesterday early afternoon around 1pm.

When it come to wrapping up your visit, you can go with self-service (if you’re coordinated and crafty, it’s a win-win) where you take the wheel.

Or for $5 (all the proceeds go to a different local charity each and every week), someone will wrap your flowers up with great care and attention to detail.

Next they’ll be opening the Connecticut location (sign up for their email updates so you don’t miss out) and later, Johnston, their original farm.

Find Wicked Tulips Exeter at 400 Hog House Hill Road.
