Keukenhof, located in the Netherlands, is a unique and unforgettable experience for visitors. It is open eight weeks each year, welcoming 800,000 visitors. Since its opening in 2014, Keukenhof has attracted nearly 50 million people, with 75 coming from over 100 countries. The garden features over 7 million bulbs, including 800 types of tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths. The windmill in Keukenhof is a main attraction, with its terrace overlooking the tulip fields in the outer park.
Tulips are grown for their bulbs, not for their flowers. The bulb is taken out of the ground just before the flower’s head increases its strength. Every year, over 7 million flower bulbs are planted by hand in the autumn to flower in spring. Keukenhof Park covers an area of 32 hectares (79 acres) and receives 7 million bulbs from 100 Dutch flower bulb companies.
Spreading across 80 acres, Keukenhof is one of the world’s largest spring flower gardens, with 800 varieties of tulips. The seven million bulbs planted every year must be in the ground before Christmas. Organically grown tulips of all colors and varieties are only.20.
Located near the Dutch capital of Amsterdam, Keukenhof Garden is a must-visit destination for those interested in nature and tulip culture.

I think Momotaro is a name of a Japanese folktale character. Where he was discovered as a baby inside a big peach. The flower being pink and white I think symbolizes the peach. Also the peach, Momotaro was in was found by an old couple (they wanted to eat the peach lol) who raised him. Until an ogre attacked the village his adopted parents was in so he protected the village. I can’t remember the story very well but I think it was a long those lines. I definitely want to visit here when I get the chance!
This is heart breaking. I was all booked to meet my mum and grandma there in 2020 for my mother’s birthday. And then all flights out of New Zealand and Russia were cancelled and this year we are still not allowed to go. It is still an absolute dream of mine to see all the tulips and I can promise I’ll be there as soon as we can come over. 🥰
I’ve never given a thought about the labor work behind a beautiful landscape filled with tulips. I’m resident of Central India, I’ve never been in a tulip garden. I hope people who saw these beauty right in front of their eyes will also know the hardwork of gardeners. “I salute the gardeners for making this earth more beautiful”

Momotaro is a Japanese folk character. I planted a tomato by that name this season. I finished putting in 1000 bulbs this fall. I appreciate their point about planting early to late varieties. I never try to save the old ones, nor do I dig them up. Some people have trouble with squirrels but I figure if i plant a thousand on top of last year’s beds and the squirrels eat 7 then I still have 993. Plus I feed my squirrels and they’ve gotten to lazy to dig 6 inches for a bitter bulb.
Keukenhof, beautiful place naar Lisse, worked there as a steak chef in one of the restaurants there. It is an Amazing show, from seeing feild upon feild full of brightly coloured Bloemen, i also worked at Llangevelds in their bulb wash with big Jan the man. Holland is a very beautiful place thanks to those amazing Dutch people who make it so. Dank u Vel Netherlands. 🙏🏻🏴 ❤ 🇳🇱🙏🏻
I went to that town but unfortunately I couldn’t visit the Keukenhof this year… They could planned it better by having limited amount of people and implement social distancing measures so that the park could have reopened. I went to the fields in the are though but because of the cold not many tulips came out… (it was the coldest april in the last 35 years here in The Netherlands)
I really appreciate US,their government focuses on science …..they invest in their assets (scientist)…..while others settled in ready made output or just copying ……that is why their country is the best (top).They really plan,study and apply.🙌 They are generous …..actually in WHO they fund the biggest amount to help other struggling countries …..that is why they are the most rich country in the whole world…very clever country.They are blessed.
What I can’t understand is why they compost the flowers and not sell them OR the bulb, which I’m sure many gardeners would love to purchase to have in their home gardens, even if the following years are not so big. They talked about how they lost so much money and yet they are composting huge value that could have helped them get through these hard years. The waste blows my mind… does anyone understand why?
It is heaven nonetheless with no tourist to admire, It is blooms nevertheless with no future to aspire to, It is sheathing of vulnerable colour With no hands to transpire them It is simple and beautiful with no suitors to sire them. Will it be wasted, are we a waste? The tendril asked sunlight this question again and again.
They should open a shop after the 8 week period where they sell bouquets of these tulips they rip out, they might be able to make millions more just by selling the flowers to the public. Make them cheap as well so a lot of people will come and purchase them. For example 5 euros per bouquet. It’s cheap, but at those rates, they could make hundreds of thousands or even millions of euros selling flowers they’d otherwise turn into compost.
