Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival
March 18–May 1, 2022
Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm, Woodburn, OR

Our family is excited to invite you back to our farm for our 38th annual Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival. Experience the beauty of 40 acres of tulips and over 100 acres of outdoor space and activities this spring. We are again offering tickets online only this year to minimize crowds and allow for more time to enjoy our fields. We thank you all for the continued support for our farm and we look forward to bringing the beauty of the Willamette Valley to you and your family. With 40 acres of tulips, over 100 acres of outdoor space, and activities, the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival is identified as one of the top spring attractions in the state of Oregon.

A FARM NOTE: Tulips are an agricultural crop and therefore subject to weather, growing conditions and blooming variables. We cannot guarantee that the tulips will be in bloom on a particular date, so prepare to be flexible by 7 to 10 days in your visit. Stay tuned on Facebook or our Field Report for current field conditions. This is an outdoor event in an agricultural field with uneven walking surfaces. The event will not close due to bad weather.

We will be opening our day passes for our 2022 Festival on March 1st. Individual season passes available here. Hours: Monday through Friday: 9:00am–6:00pm; Saturday and Sunday: 8:00am–7:00pm; Sunrise Entry: 5:00am–7:00am. www.woodenshoe.com



Soil School
Tuesdays & Thursdays, April 5-28, 2022 • 6:00pm
ONLINE CLASS, Clackamas County Master Gardeners

Join us and West Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District for the tenth annual Soil School! Every Tuesday and Thursday in April we'll host experts to share their knowledge and answer your questions in a series of soil-related webinars. Head over to our website for details registration! https://tualatinswcd.org/event/

April 19th, 6:00pm – Soil Microbes
Billions of organisms live below ground and are critical to support plant, animal, and human health above ground. This session aims to unravel some of these unseen mysterious life forces and explain how they contribute to soil health. Learn not only what they are doing for your soils, but also what you can do to support them. By shifting our view of soils from an inert growing material to a biologically diverse and active ecosystem, we can help create more sustainable farms, ranches, gardens and forests to provide the food and fiber for our rapidly growing population while protecting land, air and water resources for future generations.

April 21st, 6:00pm – Integrated Pest Management
Learn the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) decision making method. IPM examines the benefits and risks of control methods to determine the best action(s) for the situation. It emphasizes preventing pest and weed problems in the first place. Apply the IPM method to example problems such as yellowjackets, mice, common weeds, and invasive plants. Get a preview of OSU’s forthcoming Solve Pest Problems website intended for the public.
