We made the impossible POSSIBLE!
The common thoughts of experts in the Netherlands was it's impossible to grow tulip bulbs in the North of Sweden. Carolina, coming from a tulip bulb growers family was stubborn and together with Hasse they have proven:
It's possible!
Our Story
Since 2011 Farm Backsjön organize a Tulip festival from Swedish Mothers day and 3 weeks forward.
After 5-6 month under snow and ice, tulip bulbs popping up though the snow and short after a colourfull garden appears. Because the strong winter temperatures and the snow, growing tulips and tulipbulbs don't need any form of chemicals. This create a biological Tulip grow!
