The Netherlands are known for their legendary tulip fields. Every year, tourists flock to the European country in plenty to revel in the bright and colorful tulip fields.
However, with the coronavirus pandemic causing travel plans to tumble this year, the fields have been left empty, prompting Dutch farmers to write optimistic messages of hope using the famed flowers.
Dutch Farmers Are Writing Positive Messages In Tulip Fields
The tulip tourism season in the Netherlands runs from late March to mid-May, with flowers typically reaching their peak in mid-April. As there’s nobody around to see them, the Dutch farmers decided to use their fields to write messages of hope to those sad about missing the flowers this year.
In a heartfelt post on social media, Dutch Daffodils, a Dutch family flower farm, shared a photo of their flowers spelling out the message of love and hope. Reminding visitors that they are always welcome to the fields, the farmers at Dutch Daffodils farm in Noordwijkerhout wrote “See you next year,” into a field of red and white tulips, with a giant heart.
As per the post, they had teamed up with Tulips in Holland, a travel blog dedicated to the tulips in the Netherlands, for this purpose. The post also mentioned that the heads of the flowers were recently removed to spell out the special message.
Other Dutch Fields Have Also Spelled Out Messages Of Hope
Similarly, other tulip farmers in the country have also followed suit. In a massive field of orange, fuchsia and yellow blooms, Dutch farmers at Nursery S. Schouten in Bant wrote the message #StayStrong.
According to MSN, the farm endeavored to show support for the healthcare workers fighting COVID-19 on the front lines with this tribute.
