All about Tulips

Tracking the blossoms!

I've been following Instagram, Pinterest, blogs and websites to follow the weather and of course anticipating the blooms!  I'm delighted to report high temps this week in the mid-50s.  Keeping fingers crossed to pair this with sunshine and the days will be perfect.

Keukenhof Gardens grand opening is Thursday, 23 March and we will be visiting 11 days later on Sunday, 2 April. The weekend will host special events celebrating Dutch Heritage.  If you wish to channel & celebrate along with the Dutch, bring along something orange to wear!  As of this week, the hyacinth and daffodils are blooming with tulips popping up too!

I hope you are excited as I am to be touring the Most Beautiful Spring Garden in the World!
