About us
TPN:
TPN is the abbreviation of Tulip Promotion Netherlands. The foundation was established by over 400 tulip growers/breeders. Together they promote tulips worldwide.
Activities:
TPN promotes this springflower by organizing various promotional activities annually. The biggest event is National Tulip day. On the 3rd Saturday of January tulip season traditionally starts.
On this day tulip growers/breeders organize a real tulip garden with over 200.000 tulips, where tulip fans can pick their own bouquet of tulips for free, in the center of Amsterdam.
Follow this special day live via our social media channels: Facebook: TulipTime and Instagram TulipTime.info
