The most beautiful spring garden in the world

Holland=Tulips=Keukenhof

Developing new tulips is a long-drawn process, taking several years

Our family (with the Pai family) was fortunate to visit Keukenhof on 27th April this year (King’s Day, the birthday of King Willem-Alexander of The Netherlands). “The most beautiful spring garden in the world”, spread over 32 hectares, is open for about eight weeks every year, during March-May (Dutch spring). So one needs to plan well to get to see the millions of flowers, primarily tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, in full bloom. This period and the weeks prior to it are busy for the Dutch floriculture industry, enabling flower and bulb sellers display live brochures of their products.
