The Floriade, a once-every-decade horticultural event was held in Zuid Holland from April through October 2002. Keukenhof Gardens is known as the world's largest flower garden. It is open only 8 weeks each year from late March to May. The gardens are one of the Netherlands most popular attractions, cramming in over 800,000 people each year into the 32-hectare park. Keukenhof is well worth the crowds and I think you will agree when you check out my photos below.
