The brochure describes it as a treasury of bulbs, a good description. It is a seed bank of bulbs. A small site which is intimate and tactile which creates a great sense of peace and relaxation. These are varieties no longer grown commercially which represent the development of the bulb industry in the Netherlands. They also provide a source for bulbs to replant gardens at historical sites.
Statistics. 2,600 different tulips, 800 daffodil varieties, over 120 different hyacinths and dozens of minor bulbs.
If you get the chance go there, take your sandwiches and flask, sit on one of the seats and enjoy. If not, enjoy the photos. If you don’t blame Jan, she is artistic director. I only operate the camera.
