The rows of tulips are made up of more than 20 different varietals.

“We’ve got just your traditional single tulip varieties, we also have five or six double tulip varieties and a few fringed varieties that are really beautiful with a lacey edge around them,” said Szarek.

The annual event in the North Okanagan showcases spring, something visitors can get excited about.
