It ran for four years in Abbotsford before moving to the North Okanagan.
Just as the cherry blossoms were starting to open in Vancouver, organizers made a post saying the tulips are coming back to Armstrong for 2022.
Their field is full of over 20 different kinds of tulips, with tons of fresh bunches for sale.

“Alexis’ vision for Bloom is to share her family’s love of farming and inspire appreciation for locally grown flowers in a beautiful country setting,” says Bloom’s website.
“For those wanting the full farmer experience, simply wander through our designated u-pick area and pick a bunch for yourself.”
