Flower gardens: 280.000 spring flower bulbs, 1 gardener
Another picture taken from the "Open Gardens" from Belgium (see Hyacinth Garden). The only gardener from this flower garden is 77 years old, and what is the secret of maintaining this flower garden?
280.000 flowers bulbs planted each year by hand and removed later in the year to be stored on his attic. Having flowers can be backbreaking work, so you better enjoy it when you dream to have your own big flower gardens.
Any guess how many spring flower bulbs there must be planted then in the Keukenhof Tulip Gardens…?

If you think that you need to go to the Netherlands in order to find tulips, then think again.
Once of the countries I love the most when it comes to enchanting nature is Japan. Just a pity that the country is oh so expensive to visit over and over again.
But have a look at this 20 second Tulip video from Japan:
Tulips in Akebonoyama
If you visit Japan in Spring, then make sure you visit Kashiwa park. Not only for the famous "cherry blossom viewing", but also for the Akebonoyama Agricultural Park.
Kashiwa Japan: Akebonoyama Agricultural Park tulips
In the youtube video above you see Akebonoyama Agricultural Park without blooming tulips, but the youtube video below showcases a song with at the background blooming tulips from Akebonoyama Agricultural Park.
Ok, I admit, I am just not an autumn person, let alone a winter person…

Planting tulip bulbs below flower bulbs
From top to bottom:
- crocus bulbs,
- daffodil bulbs and
- tulip bulbs (make sure to choose a late flowering tulip bulb).
If you have a small garden or a lot of flowers bulbs, you can plant the tulip bulbs above or below other flowers bulbs. You can aim for a chronological flowering like in the example on the left: first the crocus will flower, then the daffodils and then the tulips. Which means your spot will be flowering for weeks in a row with bulbs.
Of course you can use your own imagination: only the bulbs are the limit… Below a flowers bulb picture so you have an idea how which flower bulb will give which flowers during which period of spring.
