All flowers are beautiful, but tulips have a special place in our hearts. And most Dutch people feel the same. The bud has become a symbol of The Netherlands, thanks to the country having the perfect climate for them to flourish, and thousands flock each year to see them. 

Spring 2023 got off to a slow start, but now that that chill in the air is lifting, the tulips are coming out to play.

Keukenhof Gardens, just 20 miles south of Amsterdam, is the most famous place to take in the blooms. Known as the Garden of Europe, the park has 7 million flowers across its 79 acres. 

Dating back to the 15th century, Keukenhof opened to the public in 1949. That year, more than 200,000 visitors came to see the tulips. 74 years later, over one million visitors are expected for the season.

“The first tulips and hyacinths are already flowering. Visitors can enjoy a colourful park from day one,” the gardens stated. “In autumn, Keukenhof’s gardeners planted 7 million flower bulbs by hand. Across the Bollenstreek [bulb growing region] the fields are starting to bloom.”

The season runs from now until May 14, with flower lovers able to visit the park from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. each day.

The third Monday in January is also called “Blue Monday” and it’s considered to be the most depressing day of the year. The formula for calculating it includes several factors like the weather, after-holiday debt, the time that has passed since Christmas and New Year, low motivational levels and our inability to take control over our lives after the holidays.

How do you fight it? The Dutch have an answer. It’s impossible to feel sad when you’re surrounded by 200,000 tulips, and that’s exactly what happened in Amsterdam last Saturday. The city of Amsterdam covered the Dam Square with hundreds of thousands of free tulips, and anyone interested could take home up to 20.

Tulip growers helped visitors make colorful bouquets. “I came with some of my friends and also my family just for this event, for the National Tulip Day, the start of the tulip season,” said a visitor Fuschia Ramadhanti, who came from Indonesia just to see the tulips, as reported by AP News.

Having a fresh tulip bouquet can lift your mood and remind you that the cold days are almost over and that spring is around the corner.
