Tulip Fest: Family Bulb Planting at the Ten Broeck Mansion

Help plant tulips at the Ten Broeck Mansion! Families are invited to join us to learn about the history of the Ten Broeck Mansion gardens.

Did you know tulips have been planted in our gardens since the 1800s? And you have to plant them in the fall to have a beautiful display in the spring?

We will learn about the origins of tulips, how they came to Europe and North America, and how tulips can be used to study our environment.

Plus, free explorer activities, art projects, and free take-home bulb planting kit.

• Please wear shoes/sneakers and clothes for planting (getting a little muddy).
• For children ages 2 and up. An adult must be with each group of children during the program.
• Please park in our parking lot (off Livingston Avenue) - GPS Directions 136 Livingston.
• Event held rain or shine (we will have a tent over a garden area in case of rain).
