3. Amazing! NT

4. It's even better in person...

We did the tulips and windmills tour about 6 years ago and spent an afternoon in this garden. I would go back in a heartbeat.

[IronLionZion]

6. I'll add it to my bucket list

I'm sure there is a lot of pent up demand for travel these days as people have fond memories of places visited and dream of where to go next.

33. I so agree and did that lovely tour too.

These gardens were the highlight of my trip and I'd even go back just to see them again, it was stunning, one of the best 8 hour timeperiods of my life. I must have taken over 100 pictures. Sadly, I lost most of them when my phone fried 2 years ago, hence the need to return, if it's ever safe again to travel by air.

5. OMG

7. Exquisite

8. Amazing....and this year they bloom for themselves...

I wonder how many animals are having the time of their lives with parks being closed and quiet

9. Wow

10. Stunning! If you can't make it across the pond, up north in Victoria Canada is Butchart Gardens:

And it's opening today:

11. Good to know.

I'll add it to my bucket list. I love stuff like this.

[chia]

15. Hope you can make it there, I've only been once, would love to get back again someday

28. May I recommend Chanticleer Garden

in Wayne, PA? I enjoyed it much more than the better known Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA.

I understand that there is some sort of "garden passport" associated with a range of botanical organizations in that general area of the country.

14. To think this was once a quarry

Another beautiful garden

16. Amazing what they've done, and that it remains in the same family. Truly lovely, I had the chance

to walk through their rose garden, roses everywhere, all around and above me.

I didn't take this photo, but it represents well:

17. Really beautiful

[machoneman]

31. Yes, I've been to Buchart and it's wonderful!

[chia]

32. Ah, then you are truly fortunate!

[Karadeniz]

12. Love gardens...thanks for sharing!

[malaise]

13. Magnificent

Thanks

[warmfeet]

18. If I ever went there,

good luck getting me to leave. I am living here now. Just try and find me.

19. well, you cannot trump wild trilliums in northern forests.

20. I've been to both, and both are pretty spectacular.

The Butchart gardens when we visited Vancouver Island in 1998, and the Keukenhof a few years before. Vancouver Island is almost the other side of the world for us (9 time zones), but the Keukenhof is just a three hour drive.

At Butchart, in 1998

21. I was going to visit The Netherlands this month

but of course postponed my trip. Had reservations to visit Keukenhof Gardens. I did take a virtual tour, but not the same as being there. Maybe next year.

[Sloumeau]

22. I think that I am beginning to understand why there was once...

a Dutch Tulip Bulb Market Bubble.

[niyad]

24. So very beautiful. Thank you so much for posting.

[Niagara]

25. Amazing!

[Beacool]

26. Stunning, absolutely beautiful.

One more thing to add to my bucket list.

27. They filmed a Bollywood movie there

I was like, "I didn't know tulips grew like that in India??"

[IronLionZion]

29. Many Indian movie dream scenes take place in Europe

sometimes New Zealand. Any place with wide open spaces and nice looking vegetation.

[LeftInTX]

30. Yes!

I watched that movie when I was new to Bollywood.

They've filmed in the US, Bulgaria, Egypt, South Africa, Mauritius, and Iceland. (Just about anywhere)

One dance scene was even in a glacier! (The glacier was in India though)

34. Jaw-droppingly, exquisitely, GORGEOUS

Thank you for posting-- I think I'll go to Holland next vacation!! Or else keep these photos and keep dreaming.

[IronLionZion]

35. Glad you like it. I love stuff like this

a little bit of hope during a time when we didn't know if we'd live or die.

Here are the best gardens in the USA
