Sandra Sigman spends her days immersed in flowers. On any given morning, you will find her juggling blooms with the greatest of ease for arrangements at Les Fleurs, her destination flower shop in Andover, Massachusetts. Even so, Sandra felt lightheaded when she rounded the bend at the nearby Stevens-Coolidge Place to behold 30,000 tulips in full splendor.

“When I turned the corner and walked into the garden, I literally gasped,” she says. “I guess I was starved for color, but I felt that even Holland would have been in awe.”

“In the French flower shops, it’s all about bringing tones together for a nuanced story.”

 
 
“Tulips are all about levity and rebirth. Their flowers are like ballerinas—they dance”
— Sandra Sigman
