No visit to the Netherlands can be complete without visiting the magnificent gardens at Keukenhof Lisse.  Me and My wife always visit the park once a assemblage and I never enjoy a better day each assemblage as there are so many things to see and experience.

This assemblage is the 58th time the parks are open to the public and they are spectacular. The Dutch people really excel in art of producing the worlds most beautiful flowers. The other draw is the fact that the smell of the flowers is astonishing.

Opening this assemblage on the 20th March I found my self and my wife engrossed in the splendor of colour and imagination of the various flower mosaics and exhibition flowers.

In one of the super exhibition rooms you can watch the flower masters I hit no other words for them putting together arrangements and displays. They are extremely talented also as you browse you notice that each of the flower arrangements and displays are marked.

The markings are to show that these arrangements hit been judged and some of the fine examples that are awarded metallic and silver and bronze medals. I can hardly judge the difference but I’m not a flower expert.

This assemblage the gardens where opened Princess Victoria from Sweden and a aggregation of the themes where in celebration of the Swedish people. The main one being a Swedish Botanist called Linnaeus, Linnaeus was known as the King of Flowers. Linnaeus studied in Holland at the university at Harderwijk.

 The Keukenhof site consists of a 32 Hectare site with shops, bulb exhibitions, displays and workshops this assemblage their will be over seven meg bulbs planted and blooming throughout the park. To see the park in glorious sunshine is an event I look forward to all year.

The spring gardens enthuse life into my soul as I walk in these fine gardens I find myself re vitalised. I enjoy going to the working windmill and see the bulbs bursting from the ground and sweet flower aroma that follows you everywhere.

Within the parks are ornamental lakes and fountains their are many fine art exhibits which can be purchased or I assume this as they all hit a price tag. I expect you would hit to wait till the gardens close in May.

I spend many hours here taking photos and never seem to hit sufficiency memory to ready all the superior images. As well as having the finest blooms in Holland and perhaps the world on show there is a children’s park and a petting zoo to enjoy.

Keukenhof is very easy to get to there a topical busses from both Schipol Airport and Leiden to the park and as I hit lived in Holland for a few years you can rely on the Dutch transport system it is very good compared to England.

Don’t leave the park without buying some bulbs to plant for yourself they are superior value they may not produce metallic standard flowers but the ones we hit bought over the years hit always produced some very gratifying crocuses and tulips.

I find the people and staff at Keukenhof really friendly informative and can recommend this as the best day in Europe. When the sun is shinning and the park is in bloom then there is no locate like it on Earth.
