It’s great spring, but why do Swiss people always fall in love with flowers?

When the spring breeze passes by, flowers bloom everywhere

Calling Switzerland “God’s back garden” is no mere boast. As long as you walk around this country in spring and summer, you will know that it is truly a "garden"

Switzerland's forest coverage rate is between 29% and 32%, limited by mountains and glaciers. The formation of forests has been affected, but the large stretches of pastures and green spaces between forests have allowed Switzerland’s vegetation coverage to soar to nearly 90%.

With vegetation, there is the possibility of flowering. Whether they are scattered on the vast grassland, carefully cultivated for the flower festival, or blooming freely on the balconies and gardens of the Swiss. In Switzerland, no one can escape the attack of flowers. In Switzerland, everyone will be a nymphomaniac. You don’t need to rely on the weather, pack your equipment, and take time to hike in the wilderness and mountains to see the blooming flowers—the vast nature is not only in the distance, but also on the balconies and gardens at the door of Swiss homes. Swiss people love flowers and they should insert them into every corner of their lives.

In Switzerland, almost every window is decorated with fresh flowers and plants. Walking through the city streets, whether it is restaurants, churches, businesses or ordinary people's windowsills, they are all decorated with blooming flowers. Even the public buildings on the streets, bridge guardrails and lampposts, the shops facing the streets and the long bridges over the lake are often decorated with flowers.

About 40% of Swiss people play with flowers and plants every week. Switzerland is like a garden everywhere, and almost every Swiss is passionate about building a garden-like country. If the weather is fine again on the weekend, many Swiss people will be busy weeding and planting flowers in their gardens.

There are flower branches growing in the soil and sprouting constantly, as well as bouquets inserted in bottles and held in arms. If there are not all kinds of blooms in the garden yet, why not pick a weekend and go to the flower market first? The Swiss flower market is right in the market, where flowers, fruits and vegetables are placed together, all necessities of life. Swiss people buy flowers as frequently as they buy vegetables, often changing varieties with the seasons.

Not only that, the demand for books and magazines about flower cultivation in Switzerland has increased significantly every year, and the scale of gardening clubs is also growing.

This deep-rooted love for flowers is the innate nature of the Swiss. And these dazzling flowers everywhere are the Swiss people’s pursuit of a better life. The colorful life in Switzerland not only relies on the collection of many private balcony gardens of "everyone for one, one for everyone", but also comes from the planners' wonderful aesthetic and wholehearted love for the city.

As the capital of Switzerland, Bern in spring is a little less serious and heavy, and the ancient buildings shrouded in flowers show an extra vivid beauty. Bern's Rose Garden has the best location overlooking the city. Not only are various varieties of roses in bloom, but there are also patches of cherry blossoms and irises. In the small southern town of Ticino, the blooming camellias also declare the characteristics of this city - sunny, warm and relaxing, a world of flowers suitable for vacation.

Before the cherry blossoms explode, Zurich’s Rose Fountain is the first to announce the arrival of spring. There are more than 1,200 small fountains in Zurich, but seven of them in the old town are special rose fountains filled with colorful roses.

In Rapperswil, the City of Roses, a large number of roses are planted in three rose gardens and in many public places. Spring is when a hundred flowers bloom, and the flowers bloom enthusiastically, but this old city is still very quiet. As a historical relic reserve, there are very few vehicles, and walking trails lead people to all aspects of the city.

In spring and summer, walking on the city roads in Switzerland, you are greeted by the gentle breeze and swaying flowers and trees. In this atmosphere, we are all the absolute protagonists of our own life movie. The Swiss love flowers. They not only love living surrounded by flowers and cities full of flowers, but also create a festival of their own for the blooming flowers. Do not look down upon a quiet flower in the sea of ??blooming flowers in spring. The Swiss are willing to use festivals to crown the flowers.

In the small town of Morges, the "Flower of Lake Geneva", the biggest festival in spring is the Tulip Festival, which lasts for nearly two months. From March 18th to May 8th this year, the 51st Tulip Festival will be held in the Independence Park on the shores of Lake Geneva.

150,000 tulips bloomed enthusiastically in Independence Park and throughout the city; followed by iris, lilies, roses, and lavender, the fragrance of flowers, plants, and fruits has been floating in the city. The air is heart-pounding. A piece of spring scenery for you to enjoy for free.

In May, the small town of Montreux, which can be very jazzy or very beautiful, ushered in the daffodil season and the unique "May Snow Season".

In Europe's "Belle Epoque" before World War I, the daffodils in the Montreux region were already a reason to attract tourists.

Between 1897 and 1957, the Daffodil Festival held here every year in late May and early June was Montreux's annual flagship event. During this important festival, in addition to international symphony orchestras, ballets and operas competing to perform, there are also luxurious parade floats that shuttle through the city, making it very lively.

From May to early June every year, go to the place where the daffodils are in full bloom! You can go hiking and immerse yourself in the romantic and beautiful flowers; you can also take trains and cable cars to see the more spectacular "May Snow".

The ground is full of flowers, and the Swiss will see life in the flowers.

Picking and stepping on flowers is prohibited, but please feel free to take photos! In Switzerland, welcome the flowering season together
