The Flower Carpet in Brussels

The 20th edition of the Grand' Place flower carpet is August 12 to August 15. The magnificent carpet is 75 meters long, 24 meters wide, composed of 600,000 begonias and assembled by 100 people in 4 hours. The theme this year is Japan. How is this accomplished? To get us up to speed for this year we hear from a flower picker in the fields near Ghent and an organizer and a flower placer on the Grand' Place in Brussels during the last carpet. Who knew Chiquita Banana boxes were the best way to transport the flowers? www.flowercarpet.be
