Conservation
The park follows bulb-rotation and visitor-management practices to protect planting quality; visitors should remain on paths and avoid picking flowers to support conservation efforts.

Arrive early for light and space
Opening hour visits have softer light for photos and significantly fewer visitors than mid-day.
Dress for spring weather
Bring a lightweight waterproof layer—April in the Netherlands can flip from sun to showers in an hour.
Respect the plantings
Stay on marked paths and don’t pick bulbs or flowers to protect the displays and future plantings.
Use a small tripod or fast lens
If you plan serious photography, a compact tripod or a 50mm/35mm with a wide aperture will improve low-light shots under the pavilions and windmill.
Comfortable walking shoes
Dry, supportive shoes help you cover the garden’s paved paths and boardwalks in comfort.
