For decades, the National Flower Bulb Market (Nationale Bloembollenmarkt) has been the place to buy flower bulbs straight from the grower or trader. It started at the CNB, later moved to Keukenhof and is now held at De Tulperij in Voorhout, in the Bollenstreek – the tulip and beach region between Amsterdam and The Hague. On Friday 2 and Saturday 3 October 2026, from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm, specialist growers bring a wide range of flower bulbs and unusual plants.

Special flower bulbs you won’t find at the garden centre

From well-known spring bloomers to botanical species you rarely come across at a garden centre: at the Bulb Market you pick your favourite bulbs directly from the growers. They are happy to tell you about their varieties and how to use them in your garden. Organic gardeners are catered for as well: Natural Bulbs brings organic flower bulbs. Floralia will be there with a colourful range of amaryllis.
