There are seven million different bulbs planted here each year. In a rainbow of colours, blossoming hyacinths, orchids, daffodils, lilies and crocuses unfold before your eyes. And they all stand flowering next to the world's favorite of the show, the Dutch tulip.
The Keukenhof garden is the world's largest flower garden. Hailed by reviewers across the globe as one of the must see desitinations of 2012, Keukenhof is unrivaled in its yearly floral displays. Whether you're a fan of flowers, landscape design, kitschy Dutch flair or Mother Nature in general, Keukenhof's seven million bulbs spread across 32 hectares has something special for everyone.
With windmills, Amsterdam style bridges and weaving canal waterways, Keukenhof is iconic of the Netherlands in its own right. It is also one of the most photographed places in the world as millions of visitors each year snap the iconic image of themselves set against a background of flowers as far as the eye can see.
Keukenhof boasts stunning landscape architecture, jaw dropping design and annual themes dedicated to nations that honor floral traditions. But at the heart of these gardens is the simple love of something beautiful - the blossoming bud. During the spring months between march to mid-May, these children of nature come to life, springing up closed buds to flowers bursting forth in silk petaled glory. It is a transformation that reminds us of the rebirth of the season, of the power of Mother Nature and of the unique and special place Holland will always have in our hearts.
