Windmill Island

Windmill Island is a 36 acre heritage park filled with manicured flower gardens and Dutch architecture. In May we offer over 175,000 tulips, then in June the extensive gardens change to annual flowers. The highlight of our site is our authentic Dutch windmill, DeZwaan, dating to the 1760's and brought from the Netherlands in 1964. This 125 foot windmill is a symbol of the Dutch heritage of this area and is the only original Dutch windmill exported to America. It is still a working windmill producing stone ground flour for sale.

Veldheer Tulip Gardens

Veldheer's was founded in 1955 by Vernin Veldheer as a hobby with 100 red tulips & 300 white tulips. By 1997 there had been over 4 million tulips, 500,00 Daffodils, 10,000 Hyacinths & 20,000 other spring flowers planted.
