WORDLESS WEDNESDAY



















Garden architect Louis Fuchs created the 14-hectare park alongside the castle at the start of the 20th century. 

Every year since 2003, the park is open to an international flower exhibition.

The floral shows in the grounds of Groot-Bijgaarden Castle, are dedicated to tulips, with over 300 varieties (early, medium and late varieties, as well as classic triumphs, botanicals, bleurs-de-lis, viridiflora,and multi-flora) and other varieties of spring bulb flowers. More than a million bulbs are planted. 

We visited the flower show on Monday, April 21 and it was the right time to see all flowers in full bloom and nothing had faded yet. It was a wonderful walk admiring the flowers, and the color creations. We enjoyed the exhibition very much.
