Just like the Oberammergau Passion Play, Floriade, comes but once every 10 years, and 2012 is THE year.
Hosted from April to October 2012 in The Netherlands, Floriade offers an extraordinarily expansive exhibition of all things floral and horticultural.
It’s a truly “must see” for gardeners of all types. So from the casual weekend green thumb to the aspiring Master Gardener, Floriade should be on the agenda for next year. In our opinion 1 or 2 days at Floriade is sufficient and the fact it runs from Spring through Autumn allows you to combine it with many other events and activities – tulip time in Amsterdam or the summer flower markets of The Hague and Rotterdam.
Others may prefer to make the quick hop across the North Sea to London and combine their agenda with the Chelsea Flower Show, Hampton Court Flower Show or some of the wonderful public and private gardens of England.
Its NOT too late to make it happen – we are delighted to be welcoming numerous groups to Floriade. Our wealth of knowledge on the event means we can get your trip up and to market within days.
As always, an example of what is possible can be found online.
The end of November heralds the opening of the German Christmas Markets season. It runs through the Advent period which is essentially the first 3 weeks of December each year.
