Keukenhof?

Most are cheaper than Van Tubergen and then there is the p&p.

grower.

AFAIK most export to UK. Most are cheaper than Van Tubergen locally
Bollensteek,

If he can get wholesale supplies, no reason. But van Tubergen come with a

We noticed that Roger Plants in Pickering buy their bulbs from Voorhout. Maybe
it's a silly question, but as there is a bulb growing industry in UK, why
don't
English garden centres sell English grown bulbs?

I don't think the bulb growing industry has ever been as big in UK, even in
e.g. Spalding but why I don't know. Weather, climate, terrain?
