About us
What is TPN?
TPN is the abbreviation for Tulip Promotion Netherlands. The foundation was established by over 400 tulip growers and breeders who work together to promote tulips worldwide.
What are the activities?
TPN promotes this spring flower by organizing various promotional activities each year. The biggest event is TulipDay Amsterdam, which traditionally marks the start of the tulip season on the third Saturday in January.
On this day, tulip growers and breeders create a authentic tulip garden with over 200,000 tulips in the center of Amsterdam, where tulip fans can pick their own free bouquet of tulips.
Since 2025, we have also been organizing TulipDay in our largest export market: TulipDay Berlin.
