“Empowering our community’s growth begins with nurturing its roots”
Museum de Zwarte Tulp, located in Lisse, was founded in 1985 by private initiative. It is mainly the members of the Guild of the Black Tulip – entrepreneurs and private individuals who are passionate about the heritage and culture of the Flower Bulb Region.
Gildemeester Bollenstreek plays a crucial role in promoting innovative developments and promoting the Bulb Region to put this unique area even more prominently on the map. We are currently busy with the ‘GIANT TULIP BULBS’ project.
Heemskerk has been actively committed to the realization of an impressive Giant Tulip on the Wilgendam, located in the heart of the Langeveld, where Heemskerk has its head office. This initiative contributes to strengthening the identity of the region and creating a unique experience for both residents and visitors. More info
