In colder parts of the world, the beginning of spring is a beautiful sight. The winter chill starts to leave, and plants start to bloom. Spring is the perfect time to visit flower gardens like Keukenhof, which is located in the Netherlands. In the 15th century, the area was used to supply food for a castle. People planted fruits and vegetables and hunted for meat. For this reason, it was known as keukentuin, or “kitchen garden,” in Dutch.
在世界上比较寒冷的地方,春天的开始是个美丽的景象。冬天的寒意开始消退,植物则开始绽放。春天是参观像位于荷兰的库肯霍夫等花园的最佳时机。在十五世纪,该地区被用来为一座城堡提供食物。人们种植蔬果并狩猎以获取肉类。因此,它在荷兰语中被称为 keukentuin,意为「厨房花园」。
