2010 World Tulip Summit
April 13–April 15
The Skagit Valley 2010 World Tulip Summit, 18729 Fir Island Rd., Mount Vernon, Washington 98273
The World Tulip Summit has historically hosted international delegates representing Canada, USA, UK, France, Australia, Japan, and many other countries. This will be the first time this unique event will be held in the United States since its reestablishment in 2002. The Summit was designed to be a meeting ground for cooperation amongst enthusiasts of the tulip industries and the promotion of international goodwill. Tulip aficionados from around the world will gather for a three-day symposium against the backdrop of Skagit Valley tulip fields in bloom. The Summit will take place during the festivities of the annual Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. The Summit days will be filled with presentations from renowned gardeners, growers, festival chairs, professors of horticulture and other industry experts with information on best practices in their field of study.
