keukenhof park, an amsterdam delight ...

one thing i love about amsterdam is its cosmopolitan ways. almost everything that best describes europe is here. people of all cultures and walks of life is somehow intertwined and locked in each other's company.


the netherlands: a visit to keukenhof park

other than the wonderful sights to see around the city of amsterdam, either going around by car, bus, tram or boats, the assortment of incredible and lovely flowers everywhere you go is something very unique in the netherlands. i especially love the tulips the country is so famous for. the keukenhof park showcases not only tulips in different sizes and colours but also daffodils and hyacinths at this time of year. at the later part of year, between august to september (sometimes by end of october), the gladiolas, lilies and dahlias are in full bloom. there are a number of great flower species beautifully landscaped in the park's seven inspirational gardens. here, one can get useful tips on how to tend your own garden as well as inspire one as to the flower trend for the spring and summer seasons. keukenhof park is not only designed for garden and nature lovers. the landscape artists and gardeners of the park have children in mind when they designed and tend the park - there are children's playground and activities around that park that would keep even the toddlers at their feet and at the same time interest them in flowers and gardening. all these is such a treat ... my alexander loved it, and so did i. it was a truly a lovely experience.
