Tips

VISITFLANDERS

November 2, 2021

No flowers except ice flowers in winter? Not so in the Meise Botanical Garden. It is one of the largest and most biodiverse of its kind in Europe and Father Frost's cold hand has no power here - in the greenhouses, of course. All year round you will find orchids and rare plants, valuable and partly ancient cacti and palm trees. Mother nature offers everything that her green womb has to offer.

But you can also discover a lot outside in the spacious garden. The hoarfrost glistens on dried fruit stands and grasses, the snow is heavy. The buds are already swelling, the kittens jumping, soon the snowdrops are ringing and the winterlings are turning blue - nature knows no standstill.

During the winter idyll from December 10th to January 8th, the garden is bathed in magical lights, light installations with music along a 3.5 kilometer long path will enchant you and (re) awaken your belief in elves and fairies. The garden is open until 11 p.m. on these evenings.

Our tip: A mulled wine in the orangery, the garden's self-service restaurant. The lord of the castle used to winter his "orange trees" and other exotic plants here - now you can warm up and strengthen yourself here.
