Today im going to say something about the Keukenhof. The Keukenhof is well know around the world. As you can see on the photo's that i have been added this park is nice, and if you ever come to the Netherlands this is a place you must have visited. You will be able to walk around the whole day and see how the flowerbeds are created, do visit also the orchid house, it's lovely to see all these different orchids. The park is very colorfull and some flowers do exually smell nicely. The park was designed by Zocher and sons, later Zocher designed the famous Vondelpark in Amsterdam.
The Keukenhof is a well known flower park in the Netherlands. The park is situated in the town of Lisse. The park it self is a part of the castle Keukenhof. The estate Keukenhof was founded in the year 1642 and it was build in the so called Keukenduin (kitchen dune) of castle Teijlingen. The Keukenduin has earned his name because of the food that was found there in those days, like wild, berries, cattle and herbs. These supplies were ment to be for the kitchen in castle Teijlingen. Thats why they called it Keukenduin. Later on, the inhabitants of castle keukenhof had rebuild the castle with some nice looking towers.
The Keukenhof foundation
At the present day the foundation of castle Keukenhof has the responsibillity to maintain the estate and to exploit it. The estate self has more then 230 acres of ground, and there about 18 state monumental buildings on it. In 1949 the northern part of the estate has been redecorated to become a permanent flower exhibition and it did open the gates for the public in the year 1950. Nowerdays there 91 participants (flower growers) who are actually involved in the yearly exhibition. In it's beautifull landscaped gardens there are more then 7 million daffodills, tulips, crocus, hyacinth, lillium and other flowers to be seen. The sight of these beds of flowers are beautifull and a must see when you come to the Netherlands. In the opening season there are several exhibitions to see and you will be able to make some tours around the park.
When is the park open
Because of the bulb flowers the park will be open in the late spring from the end of march untill the end of may. The park gets his visitors from all of the countries in the world, estimated about 75% is a tourist. In the year 2012 the Keukenhof has welcomed 875.000 visitors. Personally i have been there twice, its an experience that you will not forget. The park is very beautifull to see. Don't worry if you bring the kids to, theres plenty to do for the kids, there are at least two restaurants situated in the park.
Well i hope that you get an impression about the Dutch Keukenhof, if you come to the Netherlands do visit the Keukenhof.
