The Dutch plants are all approximately 1/3 of the price that I can buy them here in Britain. It's just as well we own a 4x4 Renault Kangoo because it comes back loaded with plants each year. The customs officers now just roll their eyes and grin at me saying, "Bye Bye, see you again next year!!!

Some of last years booty:

only around a 1/4 of what we brought back. What's that you say? I'm a plantaholic!! Yes and extremely proud of it!!! LOL

This has got to be one of my favourite places in Holland. Soooo much colour and so much scent. I could happily pitch a tent there for the whole week if only they'd let me. LOL





















Well I hope you all enjoyed my Dutch photographs. No doubt there will be many, many more to come as we're probably going back there again later this year!!

When we visit Holland we love to go to their flower festivals. This selection of photographs will show you why we find them so irresistable.

Why I love Holland so much.

Firstly it's to visit our friends. Sjoerd and his partner don't have a garden of their own but they do have the most fantastic allotment. Sjoerd grows the most wonderful, and beautiful flowers and his other half is the queen of veggie growing.

Then there's the entertainment:

















and the glorious scenery:





Couldn't resist snapping this local woman asleep with her little dog outside her house!!







And of course not forgetting the wonderful bulb fields.



Just a few of the reasons why we love to visit Holland!!
