Keukenhof, Flower garden in Lisse, Netherlands.
The Keukenhof garden spans 32 hectares with 7 million flower bulbs planted annually, featuring tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and numerous other flower varieties.
The garden grounds originated in the 15th century as hunting territory and kitchen gardens for Slot Teylingen castle before opening to public display in 1950.
Dutch flower growers and exporters use Keukenhof as their primary showcase, displaying new varieties and traditional cultivation methods through themed garden sections.
The garden opens for eight weeks from mid-March to mid-May, with early mornings and late afternoons offering smaller crowds and better photography conditions.
Forty gardeners work from October to December to plant millions of bulbs in specific patterns, creating intricate flower mosaics that bloom throughout spring.
