In the coming month the international press and travel trade will be updated at various virtual events and the next edition Floriade Dialogue will take place, which is all about freshwater ecosystems.
Colour in springtime
The first spring bulbs at the Floriade site are starting to bloom. Crocuses are among the first to appear when the last period of frost ends, followed by ornamental onions (allium) and tulips. With the end of this planting season in sight, we are looking forward to see how all trees, flowers and plants will bloom in the coming months.
Enjoy art, culture and horticulture
During Floriade, you can enjoy art and culture in addition to all the greenery. Exhibitions, live music from classical to jazz, entertainment and orchestras: there will plenty for young and old to experience. The little ones can marvel at children’s shows in the forest theatre and throughout the park you can enjoy picknick concerts performed by various music ensembles.
Floriade Dialogue #12
The 19th of March our Floriade Dialogue edition is all about ‘Freshwater ecosystems and the value for societies and economies’. Join the discussion on the importance for countries to keep our life support systems running by making freshwater conservation and restoration a key priority.
Participant update
Multiple participants have taken further steps in their preparations for Floriade. Our neighbouring country Germany submitted the main theme ‘Cultivating Joie de vivre in green cities’ for their exposition to our review committee. In the upcoming newsletters we will share more details on the design of their pavilion and those of other participants.
