Oké I will try to tell you :-))

In the five tenths century the park was a part of the castle and served as garden for Countess Jacoba of Beieren. She lived at the nearby Castle Teylingen. She's got here ingredients there for in the kitchen, which owes its name to Kitchengarden. In 1840 the park was refurbished by the garden architects Zocher and Zn. They also designed it Vondelpark in Amsterdam.

@omitnot literally Keukenhof means "The Kitchen's garden" but they definetelly don't take the literal meaning for the Park's name =).
