Only a small portion of a park is shown in the video... and the statutes of Tineke Thielemans in the park themes are great stuff!!!

In the past 64 years, over 50 million visitors from every corner of the globe have discovered the delights of Keukenhof. It is opened to the public for a few weeks only.

Keukenhof ("Kitchen garden", also known as the Garden of Europe, is the world's largest flower garden. It is situated near Lisse, Netherlands. According to the official website for the Keukenhof Park, approximately 7,000,000 (seven million) flower bulbs are planted annually in the park, which covers an area of 32 hectares.

Keukenhof is located in South Holland in the small town of Lisse, south of Haarlem and southwest of Amsterdam. Keukenhof is open annually from mid-March to mid-May. Keukenhof is situated on 15th century hunting grounds. It was also a source of herbs for Jacqueline, Countess of Hainaut's castle, which is the source of the name Keukenhof (it served to provide herbs for the castle's kitchen).
In the pavilions flower inspections take place. The most valued entry will be awarded with the Keukenhof Award by the Regular Committee of Inspection. There are awards for tulips, roses, chrysanthemums and many other flowers. A part of the Willem Alexander Pavilion has been planted with summer flowers. It gives an idea how bulbs can be combined.
Different gardens and garden styles go hand in hand at the Keukenhof. For example, the English landscape garden with winding paths and unexpected see-through points (designed by Zocher in 1830, the garden architect of the Vondelpark in Amsterdam, among others). There is a Historical Garden, an enclosed garden where you can see many old types of bulbs. You can visit a nature garden, which consists of a water garden, where shrubs and perennials are combined with bulbous plants. And the Japanese country garden, a playful non-traditional garden in a natural environment.
