Once every two years, the Grand Place, a central market in Brussels, Belgium becomes one of the largest flower gardens in the world. 
The flower carpet of Grand Place has a different model every time and it’s made out of roughly 700,000 begonias. This is definitely one of the must see- attractions of Brussels. 
2008’s carpet was based on the patterns of the 17th Century French Savonnerie tapestry. A perforated plastic with the design on it is laid down and the spaces between the floral design areas are filled with rolled turf. The stems are packed so tightly, 300 stems per square meter, directly onto the stone, so they won’t be blown away. No soil is used at all. The next display will be August 15th-17th, 2010.
