| Part one ~ Keukenhof Gardens | |||
| Claimed to be the most beautiful spring garden in the world. Open for just two months with 850,000 visitors every year it is the showcase for the growers in the centre of the Bollenstreek, the amazing bulb-growing region of Holland. Keukenhof is situated near the coast, not far from Amsterdam. On display in the imaginative flowerbeds and inside its pavilions are seven and a half million tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and other varieties... unbelievable! | |||
  This exquisite colourful film shot in the April sunshine, includes exclusive interviews with the park's designer Jasper van der Zon, Keukenhof guide Patricia Jelgerhuis and gardener Owen Carroll... They all give an insight into the history, behind the scenes and the 60-year success story of Keukenhof. Debra Rixon with her cameraman-husband David host a tour along the multicoloured walkways, and inside the five different pavilions containing displays such as orchids, gifts and fashion.    |
Part two ~ The Flower Parade | ||
Known all over Holland as the Bloemencorso,
this incredibly imaginative and colourful annual procession takes place
in the bulb growing region. This amazing display of around 20
flower-decked floats, and a whole range of vehicles, travel 40Km through
the crowded streets between Noordwijk and Haarlem.
 
The DVD includes a visit before the event, to the hall in Sassenheim where the floats are franticly being made from thousand upon thousands of flowers. With the help of volunteer Roos Bol, Debra tries to identify the theme of each amazing display before the procession leaves to begin its entertainig journey through the countryside.
