Today, Emerie and Janette interview Rush Fentress, education director at the Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Mr. Fentress tells the Tiger Talk fam about the Tulip Extravaganza which starts on Saturday, March 1st at 9:00 a.m. and continues through mid-April. Be sure to check out their Facebook page to get the scoop on when the tulips are at their peak so you can plan your visit to catch the most spectacular views of the tulips!

**We want our listeners to know that kids under 3 can go to the tulip extravaganza for free and if you buy tickets online kids ages 4-12 cost $10. You save $5 on each ticket if you order online so we want our Tiger Talk fam to be sure and do that!
