Ode aan de Zuid-Hollandse tuinbouw

Description: From the first tentative bud in the greenhouse to the colourful ribbon of blooming bulb fields in the Bulb Region: South Holland’s horticulture is a world of its own. Here, craftsmanship and innovation go hand in hand. Generations of growers pass on their knowledge, while high-tech greenhouses, smart water solutions, and sustainable cultivation methods shape the future. The province not only feeds the Netherlands but also feeds millions far beyond its borders. Vegetables, flowers, and plants find their way from South Holland to tables and gardens all over the world. What grows here connects people. This float is a tribute to the entrepreneurs, researchers and many more who work daily to achieve quality, innovation, and sustainability. With colour, strength, and character, the pride of the region is celebrated on this float — an ode to everything that takes root, blooms, and grows here.
