De Tulperij
Discover the vibrant colors and fascinating growth of dahlias and sunflowers at De Tulperij, just outside Amsterdam. A perfect destination for flower lovers and outdoor explorers seeking a splash of Dutch horticulture.
De Tulperij is a flower destination in Voorhout, Zuid‑Holland, known for seasonal displays of dahlias and sunflowers. The site hosts a show garden featuring more than 600 dahlia varieties and runs guided experiences during the summer and autumn seasons. Visitors to De Tulperij can join the Dahlia Excursie, a guided tour that explains the growth process of dahlias and sunflowers and highlights planting and display techniques. The tour moves through cultivated beds and the show garden to illustrate differences between varieties and bloom stages.
De Tulperij offers a hands-on perspective designed to inspire gardeners, photographers, and flower enthusiasts. The guided format provides step‑by‑step observation of development from tuber to bloom and contextual information about seasonal care. The property is presented as a curated display rather than a wildflower site, focusing on cultivated dahlias and sunflower plantings.
Information about openings and tour dates is seasonal, concentrated in the warmer months when dahlias and sunflowers reach peak bloom. Practical details, such as meeting points and tour duration, are provided by the organizer at booking. De Tulperij's inclusion on The Adventure Collective connects the experience with a broader audience seeking curated outdoor activities. The presentation emphasizes visual variety, horticultural detail, and guided interpretation to help visitors learn about planting and enjoying dahlias in home gardens. Booking information, availability, and practical visitor guidelines are listed on the experience page to help plan visits. Photos of the show garden and seasonal updates are supplied with the listing so visitors can preview peak bloom conditions easily.
