Keukenhof is essentially a trade show and is open for just 8 weeks of the year during which they receive around 900,000 visitors. It takes 30 gardeners 4 months to hand plant 7 million bulbs. Yes, that's planted by hand in the 32 hectare site every year from scratch. All the bulbs are lifted and composted and fresh bulbs planted annually to ensure the best possible displays. Even the lawns are reseeded fresh each year.
