Press-only preview of colorful 100K+ tulip garden and a unique flower mosaic showcase on Union Square in celebration of spring; Flower Bulb Day presented by Royal Anthos with additional backing and support from the European Union

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) MARCH 04, 2020
WHAT: Press are cordially invited to a media-only preview of Flower Bulb Day 2020, a showcase of 100K+ colorful tulips and a unique flower mosaic display on Union Square on Saturday, March 7, 2020. Accredited media will be able to explore the tulip garden, take photos, film b-roll, and speak one-on-one with the Chairman of Royal Anthos, presenter of Flower Bulb Day, the Dutch Consulate General and California-based tulip farmers ahead of the opening of the flower bulb garden to the public.
Flower Bulb Day is a stunning celebration of spring during which more than 100K varieties of American-produced tulips grown from European bulbs take over San Francisco’s historic Union Square. Presented by Royal Anthos, with additional backing and support from the European Union, the free “tulip garden” will be open for the public’s enjoyment, with visitors encouraged to pick their own bunch of tulips to welcome the spring season. Access to the flower bulb garden on Union Square is free -- and so are the tulips!
Additionally, music will be in the air and an information booth will be set up on Union Square to answer questions and for the public to learn more about growing flower bulbs -- as well as a special guest appearance by globally beloved children’s character, Miffy, who celebrates her 65th birthday this year.
WHY: Flower Bulb Day celebrates and showcases the beauty and availability of classic, cheerful European flower bulbs. European traders export flower bulbs to more than 100 countries worldwide, and the US is by far the largest export market for European-grown flower bulbs. European traders alone export approximately 100 different species of flower bulbs annually, including large quantities of lilies, hyacinths, daffodils, dahlias and gladioli. More than one billion flower bulbs are exported from Europe to the US every year, where they are planted in private and public gardens, as well as greenhouses by professional growers for the production of cut flowers. Check out this video to learn more.
WHERE: San Francisco’s Union Square (conveniently located near the Powell Street BART station).
WHEN: Saturday, March 7, 2020. Press preview begins at 11:00 a.m. and concludes at 1:00 p.m. Gates open to the public at 1:00 p.m. and close at 4:30 p.m., when all 100K tulip bulbs will have been picked.
