Day 2 Holland and the Tulips of Keukenhof

Today we depart for Vlinderhof garden on the west side of Utrecht. The garden was designed by Piet Oudolf and is one of six sections in over 5,000m2 of parkland in what is now known as Netherlands Maxima Park. The planting of the Vlinderhof has the characteristic naturalistic style of Oudolf with informal groups of perennial plants, combined with ornamental grasses. Later, we visit to Trompenburg Arboretum in Rotterdam. This beautifully designed garden is spread across 20 acres and includes a large collection of trees, shrubs, perennials, bulbs and tubers. The Trompenburg Gardens and Arboretum was founded in 1820, with the oldest part of the gardens laid out in an English landscape style. Afterwards, we rejoin the ship in Rotterdam.
