点评:We´ve come to Holland, MI in a couple of occasions during the Tulip Festival but had never been to Veldheer´s. Now I can say that this is, by a long shot, the best place to see tulips.
This is a tulip farm. Imagine acres full of tulips of all sorts and colors, organized by rows. Very similar to what you see in The Netherlands. Each section is numbered; you can grab a catalog in the entrance and writ down which tulip type you like. At the end of your visit you can place an order: bulbs are shipped approximately in October for planting during fall.
One thing we didn’t see was the buffalos! There are some in the grounds we were told. Understandably so they are not very sociable, so you’d have to walk to the very end of the farm to find them. You can purchase bison´s meat in the same store you purchase the tulip bulbs.
In the same grounds there is a store with Dutch-style goods: cookies, wooden shoes, chocolates, ceramics and porcelain items.
There is a good size parking area. Still, not enough sometimes for the large crowds during the Tulip Festival.
翻译:我们曾在郁金香节期间多次来到密歇根州的霍兰德,但一直没去过韦尔德希尔农场。现在我可以说,这里绝对是观赏郁金香的最佳去处。
这是一座郁金香种植园。想象一下:数英亩的土地上种满了各种颜色和品种的郁金香,它们整齐地排列成行。景象和在荷兰看到的几乎一模一样。园区里的每个区域都有编号;你可以在入口处拿一份目录,记下自己喜欢的郁金香品种。参观结束后您可以下订单:郁金香种球大约在10月份发货,以便秋季种植。
有一样东西我们没看到,那就是水牛!据说是农场里养了几头水牛。不过它们不太合群,所以您得走到农场的最尽头才能找到它们。您可以在购买郁金香种球的同一家商店里买到野牛肉。
农场内还有一家售卖荷兰风格商品的商店:饼干、木鞋、巧克力等等。陶瓷和瓷器制品。
有一个面积不小的停车场。不过,在郁金香节期间,面对大量游客时仍然显得不够用。
