The enterprising farmer Oleg Demchenko, who is well known in his native village of Lyubimovka (Kakhovsky district of the Kherson region), sets ambitious goals. Today, his main dream is to get into the Guinness Book of Records as the owner of the largest tulip plantation in Ukraine.

Oleg intends to lay as much as 4 hectares of land under the planting of tulips. Demchenko already has material for growing - the entrepreneur bought a large consignment of bulbs in advance from Dutch suppliers. The purchase turned out to be costly, but, fortunately, sellers from the Netherlands provided a product loan to a Ukrainian enthusiast.

“I have been growing flowers for more than a year,” Oleg emphasizes. - Last year, the size of my tulip plantation was about one and a half hectares. But then flowers grew in it in a limited range of colors - only pink and purple. Next year, the color palette will become much richer and richer! ”

Near tulips, says Lyubov farmer, daffodils and lilies will grow (Demchenko acquired more than 40 thousand bulbs of these crops).

Oleg modestly calls his flower land “little Holland” and adds that he grows tulips not only for beauty and to satisfy his own ambitions, but also for the purpose of subsequent sale of high-quality bulbs and spectacular bouquets.
