The current park was envisioned by the local mayor and opened in 1949 as a place for gardeners to show off an array of hybrid flowers. Each year, approximately 7 million flower bulbs are planted and grown, creating a landscape of bright colors and vibrant hues. Keukenhof is located in South Holland in the small town of Lisse, south of Haarlem and southwest of Amsterdam.
