Another great visit for all flower lovers on Thursd! This time I met Michel de Bruine, a very passionate tulip grower who produces some of the most wonderful and exclusive tulip bulbs, that he offers at ‘The Tulip Store’. With a rich assortment of over 200 tulip varieties, Michel is ready to reach a lot of flower enthusiasts across Europe, Switzerland, and Norway, from March through September.
Michel and The Tulip Store Story
Michel’s career in the world of tulips began eight years ago, from his experience in the flower export industry as a buyer and seller. Through his interactions, he forged connections with bulb growers and breeders, paving the way for his venture into tulip sales directly to consumers. The Tulip Store is part of the Keukenhof as an official exhibitor. He also hosts a very enjoyable Instagram account with a large following @passionfortulips, which I highly recommend you start following. He engages actively with fans here and boasts a following of 45K. Michel shares the beauty of tulips and cultivates a tulip community. Michel’s pride lies in the joy his tulips bring to customers, fostering a sense of excitement and inspiration.
Collaborating with a network of bulb growers and breeders in the province of North Holland, Michel selects exclusive bulbs, focusing on trend colors and shapes. Emphasizing quality, he exclusively offers large bulbs that yield magnificent tulips.
