1. Provence

From the end of June to the middle of August, Provence becomes the epicenter of tourist France. Romantics from all over the world come here to stroll through the lush olive groves, find the comfort and tranquility of the countryside and, of course, marvel at the endless lavender fields. And although lavender grows in Provence in almost every garden, in order to see the fragrant sea of flowers, you need to lay your route through the north of the region. The most amazing views of the purple infinity open in the areas of Drome Provencal, Vaucluse and the Alps of Haute Provence.

2. Kawachi Fuji Garden

Just a few hours drive from Tokyo is one of the most striking flower parks in the world — the Kawachi Fuji Garden. Thousands of unique and rare varieties of flowers and plants from all over the planet grow here, but the garden is famous primarily for the fascinating Wisteria Tunnel. A downpour of hanging garlands of white, pink and lilac wisteria stretches for many kilometers, winds through labyrinths, creates cozy corridors, covers centuries-old trees. According to Japanese traditions, a garden is not perfect if it does not have at least one wisteria. In this sense, Kawachi Fuji is the limit of the perfection of nature.

3. Keukenhof

Only an excellent degree of comparison applies to the royal Keukenhof flower park, located in the Dutch town of Lisse — the most famous, the largest and even the most photographed, according to the world manufacturer of photographic equipment. On the territory of 32 hectares, almost 5 million tulips bloom annually, more than a hundred different varieties. In addition to tulips of all possible shades in nature, roses, orchids, daffodils, lilacs, hyacinths, crocuses are represented in the Garden of Europe, as Keukenhof is also called. The most successful time to visit the park is from March to the end of May, and in April there is an annual flower parade, the scope, complexity of the compositions presented and the beauty of which has no analogues in the whole world.

4. Dubai Miracle Garden

A floral oasis the size of a small European city in the middle of a sultry desert — this is possible only in Dubai. From October to May, more than 45 million flowers of various types bloom in the Dubai Miracle Garden Park. Employees of the park proudly declare that the palette of their flower garden has more than 60 different shades. Winding paths with a length of four kilometers are surrounded by numerous arches, geometric flower beds and landscape compositions. Among the most striking and loud exhibits are a flower clock, which was included in the Guinness Book of Records, a 10—meter pyramid and a miniature copy of the Chinese Wall, although only 800 meters long, but made of roses, orchids and azaleas.

5. The Butchart Gardens

More than a century ago, the Butchart family of industrialists from Vancouver Island (British Columbia, Canada) decided to set up a flower garden on their land, which today is called a national historic heritage. The landscape design of the park was attended by designer Isaburo Kishida, who recreated in the distant land of immigrants the atmosphere of a secluded Japanese garden with traditional attributes — murmuring streams, waterfalls, wooden bridges. The Butchart Gardens is open to visitors all year round, seasonal flowers and plants replace each other, so it is equally colorful and secluded at any time of the year.
