Nevada City—Throughout the month of April 2019, enjoy the glorious color and serenity of 17,000 tulips in bloom for Springtime at Ananda at Crystal Hermitage. Since opening to the public, its garden’s beauty has been enjoyed by over 36,000 visitors from around the world.

“We planted over 108 varieties of mid and late season Dutch bulbs this year,” said lead Gardener, Nancy Mair. “We blend tulips with a rainbow of complementary pansies, wisteria, rhododendrons, azaleas, peonies, dogwood trees and the fabulous cherry tree, so that guests enjoy a different garden in each terrace.”

Visitors are welcome to explore the upper terraced gardens and follow the meandering paths by pools, waterfalls, statuary, and the award-winning chapel inspired by the Little Church of St. Francis in Assisi.

During open house weekends chat with Crystal Hermitage lead gardeners, nibble on maple scones, tour the main house, visit the museum, or quietly enjoy the peace and beauty. For a lunch, visitors will find delicious vegetarian fare or can picnic on the green of Master’s Market in downtown Ananda Village. The Expanding Light Retreat Centeralso offers vegetarian meals and overnight accommodations, with advance reservations.
