You buy a vase and pick your own tulips - and you can even visit the windmill
I spent a morning picking tulips in beautiful flower fields less than two hours from Nottingham - and it's fair to say it could be described as 'a slice of The Netherlands'. We're into spring - though you wouldn't know given the strong winds across the county - and my social media newsfeed is awash with photos of gorgeous flower fields in Holland.
There is no need to book in advance, you can just turn up and spend the day enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. After arriving and parking up, we made our way to the fields where we were greeted by a friendly chap at the admission gate. It was lovely that the site was dog-friendly too, and, although my dog is a giant Rottweiler, he still managed to carefully walk up and down the tulips, which had been carefully spaced apart. However, it is worth noting that the bulbs can be poisonous to dogs if they are ingested, so it's important to keep a close eye on them.
