Saturday
Every spring, the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken are open to the public for
3 weeks. These incredible structures of steel and glass were the brainchild of
King Leopold II during the late 19th century and, today, still house
much of his admired botanical collection including some notable
camellias. These three weeks in spring will show the plants at their
very best, the time scheduled to display the most flowers in bloom.
After our visit to Laeken we travel to the Namur region of Belgium and The Gardens of Annevoie where this weekend these lovely water gardens are hosting the Venetian Costume Parade. Over 100 costumes will be in the Grand Parade and afterwards will be appearing in the gardens.
