The so called
Kop van Noord-Holland is the northern part of the province of North Holland. This area is the largest continuous bulb area in the world. The soil - mostly sand - is extremely suitable for growing bulbs. Bulbs grow well because the winters are relatively warm and the spring is cool. Because of this favourable climate, diseases are less common.
The
Kop van Noord-Holland is the largest bulb area in the Netherlands. Colourful blooming bulb fields reach as far as the eye can see. From mid-March to mid-May the region turns into one big sea of flowers. It starts with the crocus season, then daffodils and hyacinths appear and finally the tulips show their striking colours from mid-April until the beginning of May.
The
Kop van Noord-Holland is our favourit region in the Netherlands for visiting flowering bulb fields. Perhaps less known than the area around the famous
Keukenhof, but definitely more attractive to us.
In addition to these endless bulb fields, the region features a couple of very interesting sights:
Hortus Bulborum in Limmen with hundreds of different species of blooming bulbs and the
Poldertuin in Anna Paulowna, a public park with more than 200.000 bulbs.
