EXPERIENCES – Festival of Flowers

THE FESTIVAL OF FLOWERS WILL CELEBRATE ITS 26TH YEAR WITH “DUTCH GARDENS”

The 2019 Festival proudly showcases elegant elements of the Dutch garden with carefully choreographed displays. Today Dutch gardens are at the forefront of modern landscape design. A canal, complete with working water wheel, winds throughout the floral features, just as the canals run through Dutch capital, Amsterdam. Exquisite gardenscapes beckon visitors to meander amongst the grandeur and enjoy the riot of color boasted by the Netherlands’ beloved tulips and other vibrant floral specimens.
