Did you know?

The word ‘Keukenhof’ can be translated to ‘kitchen garden’ in Dutch, in reference to the herbs that used to be gathered in the area for the castle kitchen.

To ensure Keukenhof 2026 stays in bloom for eight weeks, gardeners plant bulbs in layers. Early bloomers sit on top, while late bloomers wait underneath.

7,000 kilograms. That is the approximate weight of the flower bulbs provided by nearly 100 royal suppliers to create the annual display.
