Flower Carpet 2024

Every two years, the Flower Carpet adds even more magnificence to the world’s most beautiful city square, with thousands of flowers. This year an ephemeral creation by Océane Cornille will take over the Grand-Place for four days. This Liège-based artist specialised in street art has come up with Rhizome, a tribute to Brussels and Art Nouveau.

For the 23rd Flower Carpet, dahlias will take over from begonias. These dahlias are grown in Belgium, and they are hardy, attractive flowers. They will form more than 80% of this work, which covers a total area of 1,600 m².
