For a few days every two years, the beautiful Grand Place in the
centre of Brussels is transformed into a gigantic carpet of fresh
begonias, intricately worked into a themed pattern. In 2006 the
tapestry was inspired by the Middle Ages, with the flowers arranged
on rotating platforms to form a giant kaleidoscope of 'rose
windows'. Past designs have included scenes from Belgium folklore
and mythology, the Brussels Coat of Arms, and Turkish rugs. Work
begins a year in advance with scale models Event Date: August 2012 TBA Event Time: 9am to 11pm Venue: Grand Place Website:www.flowercarpet.be
