When you visit Holland, Michigan you find a great many places
to see
fabulous tulips and other flowers. However the place we found that had
the best display and the largest number of flowers was Veldheer Tulip
Gardens and Farm Inc. at 12755 Quincy Street. Billed as "America's
largest production bulb facility" they offer a fabulous view of bed
after bed of flowers, roaming American buffalo and over 10,000 square
feet of shopping.
In addition to the garden and flower shop they also have the DeKlomp
Woodenshoe Factory and the Delftware Factory. In the wooden shoe factory
you can see automated equipment routing out the insides of wooden shoes
in the making. You can also find a pair of woodenshoes to fit you if you
care to buy some to take home. Artisans are also busy creating the Delftware
china and you can take some of these home
too from their store.

The highlight though at Veldheer's is the massive flower beds that when
we visited housed over 323,000 tulips, 65,000 daffodils and thousands
of other blooms. If you love flowers, your eyes and nose will have a real
treat. There is a nominal charge to visit the gardens and yes you will
find a windmill amid the thousands of flowers. Remember though you must
visit during the prime season to get the best display of flowers.
Veldheer's is certainly a must on your visit to Holland, Michigan. It
is
one place you won't want to miss.
