Held every 10 years in the Netherlands, the colourful flower-trading capital of Europe, Floriade is a huge world horticultural exhibition and the country’s biggest, most spectacular gardening show. Floriade 2022 will see the return of the festival, when it will open for six months in Almere, near Amsterdam, with a futuristic eco-theme of ‘growing green cities’.
Starting on 14th April and running until 9th October, the expo will feature 40 unique and fascinating exhibitions inspired by the idea of bringing the countryside into the city. Visitors to the Floriade Expo will be treated to the sights and smells of some 3,000 trees, shrubs, perennials, creepers, hydrophytes and flower bulbs at this truly unique exhibition.
Set across a vast, 150-acre site, more than 300 eco-homes have been built as part of the show, with plans for the area to be turned into a green residential neighbourhood of 660 homes once it’s finished.
