We then visit the beautiful flower gardens at Roozengaarde, owned by the Roozen family – bulb growers in Holland and the United States since the early 1700s. Growing in their display garden you will have the opportunity to photograph 90+ tulip varieties in addition to many more varieties of daffodils, hyacinths, crocus, & speciality flowers. Planted just behind the garden is a large tulip field filled with seemingly endless rows of colour. Don't forget to pick up their free catalogue where you can buy over 140 varieties of bulbs. Shutter Tours includes the admission fee to this garden as part of your tour price.

The historic town of La Conner, Washington is a favourite for guests. After a couple hours at the tulip fields and gardens you will likely be ready to settle down for a good meal at the many excellent restaurants. Perhaps you'll want to try the Polenta with gorgonzola and mushrooms at Nell Thorn. Or Calico Cupboard Cafe'a and Bakery with their excellent sandwiches and huge cinnamon rolls. And two exciting stores you don't want to miss are Caravan Gallery stocked with personally procured jewellery and textiles brought from far off places like Bali and Thailand by the owner Linda. The Wood Merchant will have you excited as you browse through the offerings of over 300 unique wood craftsman's who create both affordable and heirloom quality wood products.
