On April 17th the Olde Ripton Garden Club went on a field trip to Colorblends Wholesale Flower Bulbs in Bridgeport.  The Colorblends Spring Garden has finished blooming for the 2025 season. It will open again in Spring 2026 in early April.

Each spring, visitors to the Colorblends House & Spring Garden can stroll through an evolving display of color as snowdrops, crocuses, daffodils, tulips and other spring-flowering bulbs come into bloom. Design ideas and creative blends abound in this intimate garden, which is a collaboration between Bridgeport-based Colorblends Wholesale Flower bulbs and distinguished Dutch garden designer Jacqueline van der Kloet.

The garden and restored 1903 Colonial Revival  mansion  are at 893 Clinton Avenue in Bridgeport’s  Stratfield Historic District. Access is easy from I95, the Merritt Parkway and US Route 1, and street parking is plentiful.
