Netherlands’ National Summer Flower Show to celebrate Late Summer

NAALDWIJK, Netherlands: Holland’s Nationale Zomerbloemententoonstelling (National Summer Flower Show) returns September 12-19 promising a jam-packed schedule of events. This year’s theme is Late Summer.

Now in its 34th year the Nationale Zomerbloemententoonstelling is sure to attract huge crowds to the Oude Kerk (Old Church) in Naaldwijk.

Venue: the Old Church in Naaldwijk.

The four-day event, under the guidance of floral designer Heleen Valstar includes a quality competition with the country’s summer flower growers competing for coveted awards.
