Haarlem sits on the edge of one of the world’s most iconic bulb-growing regions. To the south and west of the city, the Bollenstreek stretches out, where in spring endless rows of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths transform the landscape into a spectacular display of colour. The inner dune strip of Kennemerland, with its light, well-drained sandy soil, has long been ideally suited to bulb growing but also to strawberries and other soft fruits. Within easy cycling distance of the city you’ll find pick-your-own farms where you can take home summer flowers, strawberries and seasonal crops, fresh from the land.
