Introduction

Today is the first day of spring and tomorrow, for the 63rd year running, Keukenhof will open its gates to the public. Since 1949, millions of people have visited our park to enjoy a wonderful day out with breathtaking floral landscapes in a profusion of vibrant colours. This year, too, we will be pulling out all the stops. Seven million flower bulbs, 4.5 million of which are tulips, are waiting to enthral crowds of people. Hopefully, we can attract as many visitors as the almost 900,000 welcomed last year.  

Keukenhof innovates while remaining authentic. What hasn’t changed is that Keukenhof is the showcase of ornamental plant cultivation in the Netherlands, a superb tourist attraction and one of the most photographed spots in the world. In the next few minutes, you will hear what is new and different this year.

Dear Chairman Jansen,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

There is a place in the Netherlands that without superfluous exaggeration might be described as paradise on earth. This place is the enchanting garden of Keukenhof. Every Spring hundreds of people walk there to enjoy millions of flowers, thousands of trees and bushes in blossom, as well as countless emerald ponds, streams and canals. Those people come from different backgrounds; represent different races, cultures, nationalities and or religions. What they have in common, regardless of their age, gender or social position is their deep and sincere admiration of the beauty of Keukenhof.
