Summary & Review:
The spring gardens at Keukenhof, Holland, have been called the most beautiful gardens in the world. This guide for the 2015 season, a season running only eight weeks, explains the history of the park as well as the techniques the gardeners employ to ensure maximum flowering. This year the theme was a tribute to Van Gogh.
We had the chance to visit here this spring and it was gorgeous. While only about 30% of the tulips in the huge fields were blooming, around the gardens themselves there were tons of flowers. This guide was short and not as in depth as I would have hoped. But, it did include some cool details such as the “lasagna” method they use to plant the bulbs so that the gardens are in bloom for as long as possible.
