Every two years horticulturists create ornate designs placing one at a time, 300 begonias to every square metre of the ground, until approximately 750,000 flowers are in place for the entire Carpet. The ground is awash with colours. This floral masterpiece is a ‘must-see’ event for florists around the world and once witnessed the unique tapestry of flowers will never be forgotten
