Why is the Netherlands called the Garden of Europe?
The Netherlands is a beautiful country with many titles, one of which is the “Garden of Europe”. The Netherlands is rich in flowers, known as the country of flowers, and exports a large number of flowers every year.
The Netherlands is rich in flowers. Because of sufficient sunlight and precipitation, the climate is humid, and the temperature changes with a small range, which is very suitable for the growth of flowers. Coupled with the high rate of flower commodities, advanced planting technology, numerous and excellent flower varieties, and national traditional advantageous industries, the government strongly encourages and supports them, so it is not surprising that the Netherlands has this reputation.
The Netherlands is known as the “Garden of Europe”. Although the country is small, it is the gateway to European countries with convenient transportation. The Netherlands is the world’s largest flower exporter, with an annual export revenue of more than $1 billion. The annual Flower Festival is held on the last Saturday of April every year, and the main event is a grand parade of floats.
The floats are decorated with various patterns made of flowers, and they march forward with the accompaniment of the band. The names of many companies from all over the world hang on the front of each float, and the names of the flower farmers and the place of business negotiation are marked on the back of the float. Combining festive celebrations and business activities, this is a modern take on the traditional Dutch flower festival.
