The Ghent Floralies is the continuation of a 200 year old tradition of
prestigious flower and plant exhibitions, that continue to attract large
numbers of visitors. The 2010 Ghent Floralies will be different from
the 2005 edition, this amazing event only takes place every 5 years.

and plants to summon the ultimate emotion.

flowers and plants can be used. You will look into the future of landscape
architecture and notice the surprising link between floriculture products
and several luxury items such as perfume and wellness.
