Plantation Pines CHRISTmas Tree Farm in Tyler offers yellow, pink, red, orange and purple tulips.

A Tyler tulip farm opened to the public this weekend.

Plantation Pines CHRISTmas Tree Farm, which has a field of tulips every spring, opened Saturday for its first day of the season.

“It will be a soft opening- meaning we’re not at full bloom, but our earlier varieties are blooming and we want to share them with you!” the farm said in a Facebook post Thursday afternoon.

The farm, located at 10098 County Road 429, is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday then 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. Hours are subject to change based on weather and tulip field availability.

Admission is free. Visitors can pick tulips for $2.75 each. Baskets and scissors for cutting are provided.

There is a play area, picnic tables, photo opportunities and more at the local farm.

The Tyler-area family farm, owned by Heather and Burren Reed, operates on a seasonal schedule with tulips in the spring, pumpkins in the fall, and Christmas trees during the holiday season.

Nestled just about a mile away from Highway 69 toward Lindale, the tree farm and its owners have provided memories for 30 years as a labor of love and ministry.

The Reed couple has led the farm for seven seasons, continuing the family business after Heather’s parents stepped down, according to previous reporting by ETX View Magazine.

The Reeds take pride in seeing many of the same families every year — every season. The couple builds relationships with those families who visit the farm for tulip picking, pumpkin patching, and of course Christmas tree shopping.
