Thousands of never before seen tulips at Waddesdon Manor
32,500 Tulips are expected to bloom this April
They were originally planted for the first time this century in 2019 but blossomed last year behind closed doors.
In total 350,000 spring bulbs were planted around the house and gardens, but due to the first national lockdown no one got to enjoy them.
Now 32,500 Tulips are expected this April in the tulip patch which despite it's name hasn't seen tulips since Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild's day at the turn of the last century.
Following the Government's announcement on the roadmap out of lockdown, Waddesdon Manor are hoping April 2021 will be the first chance for visitors to enjoy them.
Gardens Manager, Mike Buffin, said:
'The timing could not be more perfect, as we expect the 32,500 tulip bulbs to look their most spectacular in the second and third week of April.
Only a handful of gardeners and essential workers were able to take in the beauty of the spring bulbs last year, so it will be wonderful to see visitors enjoying this incredible sight with loved ones once lockdown restrictions are eased'.
Local school children helped gardeners to plant an additional 36,000 bulbs in 2020, adding to the flowers that have already been growing in Daffodil Valley for over 100 years.
