Tips

🇧🇪 Herwig Aertbeliën

December 23, 2021

As you pass by, pause for a moment to admire this historic landscape, a landscape to cherish. It's a patchwork of small meadows. From autumn to spring, these meadows are regularly flooded. This means they can barely be fertilized, or at least not at all, and the vegetation has adapted to these conditions.
One of these meadows is a "blue grassland," an extremely rare vegetation type in Flanders. It owes its name to the blue color of several plants, including marsh gentian, blue button, blue sedge, purple moor grass, and milkwort.
