Keukenhof, situated in Lisse, Netherlands, also known as the Garden of Europe, is the world's largest flower garden. Keukenhof is open from the last week of March to mid-May. In 1949, the then-mayor of Lisse proposed a flower exhibition where growers from all over the Netherlands and Europe could exhibit their hybrids.
