Spring is the time when everything around comes to life from winter hibernation. Every day the thermometer rises, and the green leaves on the trees and the bright sun remind us of the upcoming warm seasons. However, you don’t have to wait until May to admire your favorite plants, because the climate in other countries is perfect for the flowering of many crops from the beginning of March. We have collected in our material the most popular destinations for such an unusual trip.

Where does lavender grow

Obviously, the best place to experience blooming lavender is in Provence. Fields with small fragrant lilac inflorescences have become the main feature of the region and adorn all souvenirs and postcards. Moreover, in terms of popularity they can easily compete with even the Eiffel Tower or the Cote d'Azur.

Come to Provence from June to August, and you will find the peak of flowering in July. However, in some cities and regions, the timing may differ due to climate nuances. For example, in the Rhone Valley the season begins in the second half of June, while in Co the first flowers bloom only in mid-summer. But in August, the locals start harvesting the fields, and the purple color scheme changes to green.

Provence is unparalleled and Travel Code's popular selection of hotels offers cozy and stylish accommodation in the heart of this amazing region:

Where do tulips grow?

Let's not discover America, but let's look at the Netherlands - a country where tulips have become a calling card. Locals love these bright spring flowers so much that they have literally created a cult of them and even created several themed festivals and a special parade.

When do tulips bloom in the Netherlands? For starters, it all depends on how warm or cold the winter was. Basically, the season starts in the second half of April and ends in the first ten days of May. Farmers then cut the flowers from the stems to produce high-quality bulbs.

Keukenhof Park will surprise even the most sophisticated critics with its tulip color palette. In addition, not far from the park there is also a chance to admire blooming daffodils.

Selected hotels in the Netherlands from Travel Code offer unique experiences and comfortable accommodation for true travel enthusiasts:

Where does magnolia bloom?

Still, let's look at America and go looking for a blooming magnolia in New York. These amazing flowers will not only surprise you with their external beauty, but will also delight you with their sweet and delicate scent.

The magnolia collection at the New York Botanical Garden consists of dozens of unique species, from crystal white and pale yellow varieties to the more common pink and purple varieties. The trees begin to bloom in March and say goodbye to visitors in April. Be sure to stop by Magnolia Alley to immerse yourself in a real sea of colors and aromas and, of course, take a few Instagram photos.

Where does cherry blossom in the world

Of course, Japan is considered the birthplace of sakura. However, today cherry trees have become a common property and bloom on all continents without exaggeration. How do you like the idea of going to Thailand? In Bangkok, trees begin to turn pink as early as January, but we will share an even more interesting location.

Look for Chiang Mai on the map and come here during the peak flowering period in January and February. Locals have made sakura an integral part of their lives, and pink flowers even accompany hiking trails and mountain paths. But every February since the 1980s, a festival is traditionally organized here in honor of those same cherry trees. You have three days to visit the exhibitions, buy souvenirs and get the best spot to view the flower floats during the parade.
