Activities in the Bollenstreek
Dahlia mosaic contest in the Bulb Region
Dahlia Mosaic Foundation is hosting a dahlia mosaic contest during the Holland Dahlia Event. More than 100 mosaics are on display, scattered throughout the Bulb Region. We see this event as a special activity in the Bulb Region where accomplishing something together is of great importance. In addition to crafting the mosaics, a bicycle tour will be organized to ride past the mosaics displayed in the Bulb Region.

Duijzer Dahlia’s
This year, for the first time, we have a show garden with approximately 400 cultivars
These cultivars partly come from our own nursery, from dahlia enthusiasts from the Facebook group Dahlia opulence and partly from a range from breeder Henk van Eewijk. Duijzer Dahlias is a breeding company located in Breezand. We have decades of experience growing many different types of dahlias. Most dahlias are grown in our own laboratory and grown in the field for sale.
During the HDE we have a show of dahlia arrangements inside the greenhouse. We do this for our customers, but it is also fun for enthusiasts. Our show garden is always open.
