Keukenhof
Keukenhof means kitchen garden. The present Keukenhof
Park started in 1840 and was initially designed by horticultural
architects Zochter. In 1949, Mayor of Lisse Mr. Lambooy developed
the idea for an open-air flower exhibition and started the flower
garden of Keukenhof of today. Here We can enjoy walking in the 32-hectare
park, in which seven million bulbs are planted. There are several
pavilions containing seasonal flower exhibitions: tulips, chrysanthemums,
roses, orchids, begonias, lilies etc. Works of art are spread out
throughout the gardens, including bronze statues by various artists
represented by Smelik & Stokking Galleries. There are also children's
attractions such as an animal enclosure and a play area.
