Dutch Connection Bulb Sale
A variety of tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and more are available for sale.
When you visit the museum to see Dutch Connection, bulbs will be available for purchase by museum visitors during regular museum hours. (First come, first served; no pre-order available for onsite sale.)
Just for Kids Bulb Kit
We have a free Just for Kids Bulb Kit to take home in the sales area. Kits can be picked up by museum visitors onsite during regular museum hours.
A kit includes: one bulb, soil, and a pot - at no cost!
Once you get your kit, head online for a video tutorial on planting a bulb and other Dutch Connection related activities on our website at https://www.eastman.org/virtual-discovery-room.
