The History
The beauty of the tulip fields in Lincolnshire’s South Holland region had to be seen to be believed. Colour stretched as far as the eye could see and visitors from near and far came to marvel at the spectacle. But the tulip growing season was a short one – how could the joy of these blooms be enjoyed for longer? What follows is the history of Springfields and the organisations behind this glorious show garden, which made the glimmer of hope that the blooms of South Holland could be enjoyed for longer, and by many more, a reality.
The Society was formed in 1966 and registered as a Charity, registration number 253736.
The Society is dedicated to the promotion, study and practice of horticulture, in particular the cultivation and development of flowers grown from bulbs and corms.
Shows and Exhibitions are held in pursuant of these objectives.
At present membership of the Society costs £15 per annum from the 1st January. This gives free admission to many of our shows along with Members Days & Events. Applications are invited from interested parties or groups. Membership currently stands at 250. See Contacts for details of how to join.
