Keukenhof and Russia join forces to launch theme year. At 11.00 am on Thursday 15 October, His Excellency Mr K.G. Gevorgian, Russian ambassador to the Netherlands, joined forces with Keukenhof to add the final touches to the flower bulb mosaic of St. Basil’s Cathedral. The mosaic presents an impression of the towers of St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow’s Red Square.

The Cathedral measures 21 by 12 metres and has been created from almost 65,000 flower bulbs. Its colourful splendour will reveal itself in all its floral glory in the spring of 2010. Keukenhof: A historic park filled with blooming tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and other spring bulbs. A feast for the eye, and so are the unique flower shows in the different pavilions. And in the midst of this magnificent spectacle of colour you will also find exquisite works of art. At Keukenhof you can gain inspiration and relax in the beautiful surroundings. The 32-hectare park has 15 kilometres of footpaths. Keukenhof has surprises in store for visitors of all ages. Be sure to bring your camera along on this unique experience. www.keukenhof.nl
