Keukenhof gardens versus working tulip fields
Keukenhof has carefully planted displays with different flowering times. Commercial tulip fields are farms: flowers may be removed to support bulb production, and paths or fields are not automatically open to visitors. Use official visitor attractions for approved photo opportunities.
