The Skagit Valley, USA
From series “Fabulous Nooks of the World with Striking Colorful Shades”
No less beautiful and inviting place is the Skagit Valley. For many years, tulips have grown there. A colorful field of tulips attracted a tremendous amount of tourists, who can admire the fantastically beautiful flower carpets in mid-April. The Skagit Valley is the largest flower farm in the United States. It was founded more than a hundred years ago. In the middle of 20th century, the farm existence was threatened, as the vast valley has to be used for the construction of a nuclear power plant.
By a happy coincidence, these plans did not come true, so the first-class flower farm still exists today. In 1984, a flower festival was held there. Now, it is held for already more than 30 years as an annual event. In April, florists and travelers from around the world come to admire a variety of tulips and take part in amazing thematic events.
