Belgium has a rich tradition in botany and horticulture. An area of just over 30,000 km² is densely dotted with botanical gardens, arboreta and private plant collections. Each botanical garden has its own unique identity and specialization. You can learn about the fascinating plant world.
The collections include plants with special stories, and plants that are almost completely extinct or critically endangered in nature. You will find plants from around the world and from all climates.
You are welcome there every day of the year for relaxation, to learn or just to enjoy yourself – alone, with the family or in a group. A visit to a botanical garden is always fascinating. There are exhibits, workshops, concerts, scavenger hunts and many other activities.
