Tulip Time Festival

on March 26, 2015

If you want to raise your spirits after the winter blues, “Tulip Time” in Topeka will do just that! Join us for a day trip to Topeka’s 7th Annual Tulip Time Festival! Thursday, April 16, we’ll tour and relish the thousands of tulips along the Ted Ensley Garden at Lake Shawnee.

 Ted Ensley Gardens are located on the west side of scenic Lake Shawnee. The gardens span nine and a half acres with 60,000 tulips and daffodils in the spring, surrounded by a covered bridge, rock gardens, gazebo, pergola, pagoda, waterfalls, streams and several ponds. Visitors are welcome to enjoy the splendor of tulips and daffodils in the beautifully, landscaped parks followed by a picnic lunch.

The bus will depart from the Village Entrance for Topeka at 8:45 a.m. Thursday, April 16. The group will go on a tour of the gardens, followed by a picnic lunch at a shelter nearby. The lunch menu includes: a sandwich, chips, fruit and a cookie, water and soda. The group plans to return to Meadowlark Hills around 2 p.m.

Please sign up in the Blue Book at the Hospitality Desk if you would like to come along. The cost for the trip is $27 per person and includes the tour, lunch and transportation. Please Contact Monte Spiller at (785) 323-3801 with any questions
