- At Keukenhof 7 million bulbs are planted by hand in just three months. Gardeners work year round, and the flowers bloom for only 8 weeks. Last year due to the pandemic they were unable to open for the first time in 71 years, and this year is not looking much better. We visited Keukenhof to see how they’re holding up during their second year in a pandemic.

How 7 Million Flowers Are Planted At Keukenhof Every Year | Big Business
“It’s a lot of work. It’s no problem! * causally flips spade *”
What a BAMF. P
That's a typical Dutch attitude!
@@nursejanainholland1978 nope.. its not
@@fbkensarhd5279 Is het wel, of in ieder geval in 010 dan, echte havenmentaliteit. als je in 020 woont snap ik je gedachte, dat zijn alleen maar luie yuppen
It takes so many manhours to accomplish the fabrication of the garden! 'Tis the most beautiful garden ever!
@@janschouten9668 ... Ik zie niet echt het punt dat u probeert te maken.
It's good to see men that have such pride in their beautiful, but hard, work.
Amazing. I planted 900 tulips and 500 daffodils last fall and nearly killed my underused lockdown body, so much respect to these gardeners. I hope they can have visitors soon.
Wow. I planted 50 daffodils and thought that too much.
What got you to plant so many flowers?
I believe that it relaxes your mind and spirit. We have a doctor in town that on weekdays is working in flower and vegetable garden (and it’s a bit of a secret). On a weekday he wears suit with tie and you would never know he is enjoys gardening unless you meet him personally in a community garden that he purchased for this village. He even pays for water bill each month.
Thank you for planting beautiful flowers i wish you good health and success
How to purchase tulip bulbs can you provide website link former information
I was lucky enough to visit one of the 6 days when the keukenhof opened this year :))
It was beautiful !
Wow cool , would love to visit
💛❤️🌷❤️💛Ohh wowww😁😁😁
6 days wow
We used to go there every year when living in Europe. A beautiful place. Strongly recommend it
I hope one day I can visit there
That's funny.
It's a beautiful place but most locals I know around here have never been there.
We just take a drive through the fields across the country.
No fancy designs but no tourists either.
They actually opened for 5000 people a day max, a few weeks ago I think.
That's good to hear. I was wondering if at least locals could visit
Their website says they're still closed, unfortunately.
@@cheepersmommy oh they're open for sure. I was in the area last week and the whole parking lot was packed.
@@lucakroon8868 On the website it says that they're closed. It was updated on may 4th so I can quite surely say that the info on the site is correct.
@@Tanrna it is indeed closed, but opened for a single weekend in April (fri-sun) for 5K people/day who had a negative COVID-19 test result.
I got to visit back in 2017 and it’s the most gorgeous place I’ve ever seen, this video does not do justice to just how stunning this place is in person. I truly hope to go back one day. 🌷🌹💐
I think Momotaro is a name of a Japanese folktale character. Where he was discovered as a baby inside a big peach. The flower being pink and white I think symbolizes the peach. Also the peach, Momotaro was in was found by an old couple (they wanted to eat the peach lol) who raised him. Until an ogre attacked the village his adopted parents was in so he protected the village. I can’t remember the story very well but I think it was a long those lines. I definitely want to visit here when I get the chance!
Yup, this is it. I just call it The Japanese Peachboy Story, lol.
Thank you for sharing that information. What a lovely a story.
Probably true
I learned it from One Piece
@@inspiringer6418 I learned it from Kaichou Wa Maid Sama
Thank you to the gardeners and growers/breeders who dream and make this happen for us to enjoy
Went there in 2019 the last time it was open before the pandemic. The most amazing place! Everyone has to put this on their bucket list for sure.
Yes me too. What an amazing place. Everywhere you turn around and see another spectacular tulip arrangement. Was a very special time with my daughter
I went around 5 years ago wasn't even my plans to go there but highly recommend it to anyone who goes to Holland
Crazy how tulips were a cause of a massive financial crash back in the day
How?
why?
They used to be rare and a tulip could sell for the price of a house! Then people got over it and alot of people lost alot of money. It was in the 1600s.
People started spending more and more money on bulbs after they turned into a luxury good. Once they became a luxury good the price sky rocketed and people started trading tulip futures. Since that was idiotic the whole thing collapsed.
There is debate about how much of a financial impact the great tulip financial crash causes. It wasn't like there were tulip banks or tulip backed currencies or anything. A small group of well of merchants tried to buy up some overpriced bulbs to sell to the even more rich. Not great if you invested all your money in tulips, but that wasn't a wide spread problem.
My favorite crazy tulip craze story of dubious provenance is the sailor who arrives back not knowing about the new tulip mania thinks a bulb is a fancy onion. After he's eaten the merchant that owned it freaks out because if could have fed his whole ship for a year and gets the sailor arrested for theft of tulip.
Tulip Mania is overdramatized as a historical event. It’s not as massive as some describe it
I visited Keukenhof back in 1997 and I still have vivid memories of just how spectacular it was.
I'd love to visit again one day and highly recommend it at all. I'm living back in Australia so it's unlikely for me, but I'm so glad for the experience.
Bucket List for sure!!! If this damn pandemic can end one day!
I was just there lol, i live nearby
@@sander2191 I just went to see the other tulips in alkmaar en Friesland. Haha
The pandemic make them up there richer so they're stretching it as far as they can
@@sander2191 hope you take advantage of your nice spot :) And a bit too for me living on the other side of the pond...north :) Enjoy your day my friend :)
Sander damn, nice. I live moderately close, but still kinda far (Den Haag)
It was incredibly heartbreaking for me watching them rip all those bulbs with flowers still on them out!
Didn’t they say they would use them as compost?
Old life gives way to new life - these tulips are no different. They are by no means "wasted".
Lmfao, they used old flowers for compost.. it's not technically going to waste.. nothing to be heartbreaking..
Why compost when visitors would gladly buy the treasured bulbs/ flowers at the end of the season? It would help with additional income and would pay for premium compost if needed.
They could at least keep the onions and give them away or sell them to make some money back. Even though they compost them I do think it’s quite the waste.
This is heart breaking. I was all booked to meet my mum and grandma there in 2020 for my mother's birthday. And then all flights out of New Zealand and Russia were cancelled and this year we are still not allowed to go. It is still an absolute dream of mine to see all the tulips and I can promise I'll be there as soon as we can come over. 🥰
Vera you shall go there I believe that for you 🙏
I think they should do exclusive outdoor dining experiences. So you can space people out while also charging a premium price for enjoying these beautiful tulips. It’s so sad that the effort of these gardeners are gone to waste!
the problem is probably that the government isnt letting them open. sucks cause the place is enormous...and outside..so they should be able to let at least some people in.
I visited Keukenhof in 1986 and it was so beautiful. So many flowers and an amazing garden. As a gardener I know the work that goes into this magical place. Hopefully 2022 will be a blessing for all of the hard work.
The momotaro tulip is named after a famous Japanese folklore about a boy born from a peach.
Correct. And you would think that a tulip expert (the guy in the video who said he didn't know what the name meant) would take the time to learn this.
@@mykalimba give him a break there are 6500 types
He should've googled it
I've never given a thought about the labor work behind a beautiful landscape filled with tulips.
I'm resident of Central India, I've never been in a tulip garden.
I hope people who saw these beauty right in front of their eyes will also know the hardwork of gardeners.
"I salute the gardeners for making this earth more beautiful"
One of the most memorable days if my life was a visit to kukenhoff. The tireless work of Gardners and their planners is still fresh in my memory. Hope to visit this again as I believe, the themes change every year.
They are beautiful.
Well I guess but they’re old, and got either grey hair or are bald.
@@stijn106 flowers?
@@stijn106 😂
How dope!
Idol 👋🏻😂
They ended up opening for just a weekend a few weeks ago. It was my first time there, it was absolutely breathtaking! So much respect for the hard work put in by all the gardeners
This place is simply magical. Even the roads and houses leading to this place is just awesome. I wish to comeback there with my family.
Visited when i was a child. This is a memory i will never forget.
I actually gifted my grandma a trip to keukenhof as a Christmas present in 2019….. well we hope to go there next year
That’s such a lovely idea 🌸 your very kind I might go my self x
@@poppybean7807 she was talking about keukenhof and that she always wanted to visit when we were talking about flowers so I thought that she should definitely be able to fulfill that dream. I really hope that it’s possible next year
Imagine waking up next to these field of flowers after a nap 😊
I haven't seen flowers as beautiful as these!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
SO BEAUTIFUL.. A PERSON CARED ALL FLOWERS ARE A HEALTHY AND HAPPY HEART.. WOOW.. I LOVE TO SEE ALL BLOOMING FLOWERS WITH CARED HANDS.. STAY POSITIVE
They should have bees hives around with so many flowers. Making flowers and honey at the same time.
But might drive off some of the visitors
NOT THE BEES!!!
I say yes honey 🍯 let's do it, but its of cause a good question to bee or not to bee 😉
There are enough , less likely to sting native bees.
Or get humming birds
Why not sell the used flowers either for growing or pressing?
I was wondering same. Could sell the bulbs instead of composting.
Or make extract for perfume
@@tonkabear2369 and it could help cover costs / build a cya cushion
@@larsstougaard7097 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻or essential oils that they could charge triple for given the origins of the flowers
the flower only blooms for like a week
I love these flowers so much. Always wondered what these looked like planted together with different varieties so it was a treat for me to watch❤️❤️🌷🌷
This is SO COMPREHENSIVE and wholesome!!! Marvelous 👏 👏 👏
I actually live next to the flowers, every year there is blocked traffic and people walking all over the roads
To the crew of gardeners what an amazing beautiful job.. God bless all. Of you
Incredible job! Thank you all for this beauty!
Never heard of this garden. Thank you business Insider for sharing this video. The garden is absolutely stunning!!! 🥺❤️
When we can travel again , I'll be coming to visit here. Absolutely stunning!
as a Dutch person this video makes me happy. welcome to our culture.
Wow alluring view. Great appalause to all garderners. Welcome back, though amid pandamic fade our colours of life, you brotheren have started again to bloom our minds with by seeding marvellous tulips. Amazing colours. Kudos. Stay safe & blessed.
I learned about these gardens when I was a kid due to a giant puzzle I did. Those tulips are wonderful. Still in my bucket list.
Beautiful cannot even describe I couldn't even find the correct words but it's definitely absolutely breathtaking fabulous impressive absolutely love love love love love love love it 👑
Hope someday i can visit Netherlands 😊🙏🏻
🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🤍🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
I've been lucky enough to visit these extraordinarily beautiful gardens!
Congratulations on the wonderful work. I look forward to April 2022, to surprise and delight me with this Keukenhof garden.
It's so beautiful 😍

Then Why you triggered?
Love Springtime and Keukenhof. Wish you luck 2022.
That brings back good memories. I have been lucky enough to have been to Keukenhof many times when i was younger when we lived in Holland. I would love to go back one day. I hope next year works out better for you. Regards Richard.
Wishing someday I could visit this country and beautiful flowers tulips 🌷.
I would Love to see this one day! 🌷🌷🌷🌷
I miss Keukenhof. Been there in 2012 and was mesmerized by its beauty. I still do.. Want to go back there. I hope they will be back to business soon.
I traveled to Amsterdam in April 2014 JUST to go to Keukenhof and I was very impressed. Thank you gardeners for giving me one of the most beautiful garden tour experiences of my life. Better than Kew Gardens or the Hampton Court Flower Show in the UK.
A glimpse of Heaven😍
Paradise on Earth. Been there three times.
Just bring in some bee hives
I was blessed to have seen the garden in the 90s. It's magnificent! Unfortunately my film speed was not high enough and the colors looked like blotches on my pictures.
The greenhouse pavilion at the time had prize orchids. They were absolutely stunning! It's definitely a labor of love!
Painstaking work and incredibly beautiful flowers 💐!!!
Hat tip to you all !
I'd pay to see a virtual garden tour! Stunning flowers! Amazing job & work 👍👍
This is basically what dutch patriotism looks like. Our country is so f-ing beautiful!
Who tell you that?
I love this place. The kitchen garden. Beautiful. This is part of paradise.
What a wonderful video! THANKS!!! So happy I got to visit once. Oooooh, I'd love to make that twice.
Cheers & best wishes,
Honey bees and butterflies must be having the time of their lives
Actually, from what I observed, honey bees & butterflies do not like tulips much - they prefer daffodils & crocuses better.
Man, that guy was spitting intresting facts,
"Sold a house for 3 tulip bulbs, !!! "
True nobody understands why !!!
It's very famous folklore in the Dutch heritage..
@@ritchierich2793 really? Thats so interesting, im not from europe. Could you tell me more about it?
@@danielle1777 wow thats amazing! I knew you guys were known for the tulips but never knew you guys had that economic bubble, thats actually funny how they realize they were just flowers and the tulip market crashed lol
@@danielle1777 where is tulip's origin from
@@GD-bm1bu From Persia tru Turkey and than the Netherlands around the sixtienhunderds.🤪
Wow so much work goes into it, had no idea. Thanks for the video!!
Thanks for sharing this video..it's so beautiful and eye pleasing.
proud to be dutch
Dutch people losing money on tulips? That's so unique, it has to be a first!
We have a festival in Canberra, Australia, called Floriade. Designs in different flower beds in the open public parks/spaces. You have to pay to enter the main area but it is worth it. Blessings, Dot
Absolutely marvelously beautiful, picturesque, a garden full of tulips. Oh! The wonder of Nature, forals🌷🌷🌷🌿☘️🌱
Happy ruined all of these flowers when he landed the ship to pick up Peter Parker in Spiderman Far from home
Most poor homes in my country has a poster on their dining room about this tulip gardens ,,,
I used to live in thr Netherlands and this was my most favorite place to go. It's so beautiful yo actually be there walking thr grounds in the sunshine on a cool spring day and just be surrounded by such vibrant color everywhere. It's breathtaking. Ik mis het zo erg! Ik hou heel van jou Nederland.
wow!! so beautiful flowers 💐💐💐😘😘👍 thanks for making beautiful world 🙏
G E K O L O N I S E E R D
Oke de taak is weer volbracht

they should just have kept last years bulbs in the ground, nobody saw the design anyways as it was closed

Planning to go in Spring 2022 it'll be exactly 10 years since the last time I was there. It's truly magical not a tourist trap and it will make you fall in love with tulips for the rest of your life. I just planted my own garden this fall with all sorts of tulips 🌷
This is one of the most beautiful place in the world. I really enjoyed the visit , it's makes sense because they are planted with love ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Чудо света. Красота неимоверная.
Love his enthusiasm hoping for a “good 2022!” Same same
Tulipmania?
Yes sir, let it grow wild 😜
@@larsstougaard7097 😅😅
Seems like this year, because of no income, it would make sense to just let the bulbs live this year instead of replanting. With questionable ability to open, why worry if the tulips are a little smaller this year. What a waste of money. Hope you have a great base of donors.
I have the same exact thoughts
Amazing! Takes your breath away. Maybe one day I can see it in person!
My bucket list to visit this beautiful tulips garden!
Please dont motivate tourists to walk in the tulip fields. This is not appreciated at all!
Crypto investment is the only way to make massive income, investing in Crypto now should be in every wise individual's list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic and proud of the decision you made today.
That's why I trade with Mrs Francess Robin, She's obviously the best, I invested $2000 USD with her and in 4 days I made profits of $8,100 USD
my investment with Mrs Francess Robin earned me profit of over $34,860 since the last 3weeks. And ever since then she has been delivering.
I'm no longer waiting for the stimulus check because i earn $22,090 every 14-16 days recently
That's alot of cash, please can you explain how you make so much cash in 14 days
Same i earn huge weekly profit of $14,320 on my investment since i started trading with Mr Frederick Ried, his trading strategies are top notch 🚀

@Gloria Reynolds That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Dean Henderson
@Jane Snyder Yeah, My first investment with Mr Dean Henderson earned me profit of over $25,530 US dollars, and ever since then he has been delivering
Mr Henderson is a sincere man who understands the challenges faced by beginners.I started trading bitcoin under his guidance after seeing his interview with CNBC.He does not request for any charges to teach investors on how to trade and generate profits for themselves.
@Phillip Barry How do I start trading with Mr Dean Henderson
First..I know..Nobody cares

Sorry for coming up with a different interference, can I get any enlightenment about crypto, in line with an expert that can assist me trade and generate a good profit.
@Cyril Morphin that's true. a lot of people today have been having a ton of disappointments in forex and crypto trading in light of helpless decisions awful specialists
@Bethel Noble that's pretty right, but I'm sure trading will be cool, although it's a bit difficult!
If you're ask me, I think Bitcoin has something big for the world but having a good mentor is the best.
I think I have came across the name is very expert everyone is recommending here.
If every broker would be like Mr Joe Portman, the world would be a better place, he have helped many people and I can boast that I'm one of them!
Wowwww. But Bitcoin is the feature investing in it now is the wesest thing to do now especially the current rise
pls check out SciFi box and π sicle classes fo free education of science and physics
Stocks are good but crypto is more profitable
I wanted to trade crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price
That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Vicente
Yeah
My first Investment with Mr Vicente earned me profits of over $24,320 US dollars and ever since then he has Been delivering
0:04 That is relaxing for every gardener. Lavender that is alive.
It's not lavender, look at it closely.
Was there in 1998, one of the best rolls of film I ever shot.. It's mind blowing good, they have Heineken in vending machines, had a wonderful time.. We were there in the middle of the week at the end of March, it was almost empty because right before Easter kids are still in school.
I really love the amount of pride and job satisfaction that the gardeners have. It shows that no matter what kind of job, the ability to take pride in what you do for a living and feel a sense of purpose and belonging is key in living a fruitful life.
Wow...beautiful flower and so many color...hope hope one day I can go there to see this beautiful tulip gurden
They are sooo beautiful especially when you pass by and see them.
Incredible how much effort is put into making them look so beautiful🌷
