Tulip Farm?

Hi, i will be going to Netherlands next year during April. But i hear that during that time is tulip session.


May i know which place in Netherlands allow tourist to visit?

Tulip Farm?
The tulip fields you see blooming on the pictures you mentioned are like meadows: they are just next to public roads. If you're on the road you can see them from two or three yards away. Of course farmers will seldom let you walk in the fields. That would damage the bloom.


The nicest thing to do is ride along the fields on a bicycle. If you use the train from Amsterdam to Haarlem (fifteen minutes? 6 euro vice versa, ten times an hour), you can hire a bicycle on train station Haarlem for less then 7 euro per day. About 30 minutes on your bike through the completely flat country and you can see more then 20 miles full of blooming tulips, really nice smelling hyacinths and so on.


Another method would of course use a guided tour from Amsterdam, but that of course would be you sitting all day in a bus, with just the occasionally possibility to exit the bus and sniff the fresh air and the blooming.


Also, if you're 21 st April, you could see one of the so called bloemencorso or corso. The tulip fields are not for the flowers but for the production of bulbs. That means the flowers are cut, right before the blooming ends. these flowers are arranged on wagons that follow a route through the villages. The pictures are arrange such that they form images. See the pictures on the corso web site. If you need translation, please ask me.
Reply:If you want to see Dutch tulips, THE place is the Keukenhof... http://www.keukenhof.nl/nm/english.html





have fun!





-edit- I'm not really sure what you're asking, but; Keukenhof is a tulip-theme-park... It's right in the middle of the area where most of the Dutch tulips are grown and if you want to see tulips, you have to go there... In this area you will see many tulip farms and you can just go to one and ask if you can look around... But go to the Keukenhof first, and check out their website!





-edit 2-





Ah, so you're from Japan! Konichiwa! :) Ok, I think you're interested in the business side of Dutch flowers, is that right? I really don't know anything about lavender farmers in Hokkaido, sorry...





Anyway, any trip to Holland involving flowers should start at the Keukenhof... After visiting the Keukenhof you could visit the Bloemenveiling Aalsmeer, it's where the flowers are sold/auctioned to be shipped around the world... They have tours but I think they're in Dutch... They also have visiting days, check out http://www.aalsmeer.com/default.aspx?sc_... or http://www.floraholland.nl/smartsite.dws... or you can e-mail them for info at info@vba.nl





I'm sure if you go to these places you'll meet plenty of people who will show you around if you ask nicely





I think nohandtohold's suggestion is also a very good one... And also Harald C gave a good answer





please let us know if we have answered your question now?
Reply:I also recommend you to go to the Keukenhof but if you are really looking for something else you could go and see if some tulip farmers participate in Kom in de Kas. Kom in de Kas finds place on saturday the 5th and sunday the 6th of april, 2008.


For more information on Kom in de Kas go here...

Reply:There are many places you can drive past - from Den Helder to Alkmaar along the coast are lots of bulb fields you can see.





There is not much to see on those 'farms' though, seen one, seen em all.





In the North of Holland (conveniently called Noord-Holland) there are a lot of flower fields, not only tulips.


Then, in the Middle of Holland (called Zuid-Holland) you have a lot more.





So depending on the area you`ll be visiting, i think you have plenty opportunity.
