A farm in the Triad, near Winston Salem and Greensboro, plants 100,000 tulip bulbs every year, as well as other spring flowers, in anticipation of visitors from all over North Carolina.
Dewberry Farm is at 2585 Dewberry Farm Lane, Kernersville. It’s around an hour and a half drive from the center of Charlotte, and less for those along the I-85 corridor to the north of Charlotte. It’s well worth the drive if you love flowers — especially tulips.
Springtime on the Farm is expected to start around March 21, 2024, although it will depend on the weather.
Visitors can come to see all the tulips, and cut their own. Tulip season will probably last until early or mid April.
Hours will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Admission is $8 for adults and $5 for children on weekdays. Weekend admission is $13 for adults and that includes three tulips. Children’s tickets are $5 and that doesn’t include any tulips.
Tulips $1.25 each. Tulip and bulb $1.75 each. Buckets $2.25 and cups $1.25 each, if you need something to put your tulips in.
You can purchase tickets on their website when tickets go on sale.
