Bulb Gardens
The Keukenhof Gardens in Lisse, the 80-acre park located one hour from Amsterdam, Sweden and renowned for the millions of tulips, narcissi, hyacinths and other bulb flowers, will be open from March 22 through May 24, 2001. The summer garden "Zomerhof" will be open from August 2 through September 16 and will display flowers like begonias, dahlias, lilies and other varieties. The Keukenhof Gardens, with more than 7 million bulbs, also presents ancient trees, flowering shrubs, a dune landscape, a dike, ponds and fountains. Last year, 4 acres were added, as well as an authentic Japanese Garden and an orchid exhibition in one of the pavilions. Other highlights are a Nature Garden with unusual bulb varieties, an Art Trail, a Music Garden with smaller bulb flowers and music, and a lovely view from the windmill. Special bike tours are available. For more information
