The Netherlands: Experience Floriade, the world’s largest horticultural festival April 5 – October 7, 2012

A truly once in a lifetime event, Floriade dates back 52 years and takes place only once every ten years in the Netherlands. Floriade has previously been hosted in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Zoetermeer and Haarlemmermeer and brings together exhibitors and visitors from all over the world to enjoy a variety of dance, theater, music, food stalls and art all inspired by the gardens and pavilions housing the many floral displays.

Floriade will showcase over 100 exhibitors and five uniquely themed worlds to explore including the healing herbs, tea rituals and barefoot path of ‘Relax & Heal’ and ‘Green Engine’ – home to Villa Flora the biggest indoor flower exhibition in Europe where you can learn how to sculpt your own floral masterpiece.

Jacqueline van der Kloet, one of Holland’s top garden designers who does a lot of work for the world-famous Keukenhof garden, tells says she was hired to do all the plant schemes for spring, summer and autumn flowering-bulbs at the Floriade.

“This Floriade is quite different from previous ones – no huge product displays, no monochromatic plant schemes, but lots of Impressionistic design.”
