Boskoop is a town located in the province of South Holland in the Netherlands. Known for its rich horticultural history, Boskoop has been a significant center for tree cultivation and nurseries for centuries. The town is situated in the Green Heart (Groene Hart) of the Netherlands, a less densely populated area between the major cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht.
Boskoop's unique landscape is characterized by its many waterways and narrow strips of land, which have been traditionally used for growing trees, shrubs, and other plants. This distinctive layout, known as "slagen," dates back to the Middle Ages when the area was first cultivated. The town's economy has long been centered around its nurseries and the export of trees and shrubs, earning it the nickname "Tree Town" (Bomenstad).
While Boskoop may not be known for large museums, its cultural heritage is closely tied to its horticultural tradition. Visitors can explore the town's history and its connection to plant cultivation at the Boomkwekerijmuseum (Tree Nursery Museum), which showcases the development of the nursery industry in the region. The town also hosts various events throughout the year that celebrate its horticultural roots, including flower and plant markets.
Boskoop's culture is deeply intertwined with its agricultural heritage, and this is reflected in the town's atmosphere and local traditions. The surrounding area offers opportunities for cycling and walking through the picturesque polder landscape, allowing visitors to experience the unique blend of nature and cultivation that characterizes this part of the Netherlands.
