KEEP WHAT YOU PULL DAY - An annual Sunken Garden event.
Out with the old, in with the new - To make room for summer annuals the Sunken Gardens open early on one morning soon after the tulip display has finished blooming to allow community members to come in and pull tulips to take home and plant in their own gardens. The tulips are first come - first serve, with no maximum limit on the amount of tulips that you take. Staff will be on hand to ask questions about successfully re-planting tulips at home.

Due to the popularity and high attendance of this event you will be expected to bring all of your own tools and take-away equipment.
We recommend bringing: gloves, knee pads, heavy-duty trash bags, 5 gallon buckets, shovels/garden spades, and brooms. (The brooms are for cleaning up after yourselves--don't worry, that's fun too.)

This event will happen regardless of rain or cold. Please use your judgement regarding severe weather. The event will be postponed until weather is safe.
