Flower carpet

[1] One of the most popular flower carpet events is the Flower Carpet biennial in Brussels in which volunteers from around Belgium convene at the Grand-Place/Grote Markt, the historic centre of the city, to weave a carpet-like tapestry out of colourful begonias or dahlias.

[4] Nearly a million flowers are required to create the ephemeral 1,800 m2 (19,000 sq ft) carpet.

[5][6] The Guinness World Record for the largest flower carpet of the world is held by Jardines of Mexico, in Teotihuacan, where an 18,000 m2 (190,000 sq ft) flower carpet was made on 8 December 2018.

[7] Carpets of live flowers are arranged for the Feast of Corpus Christi in Spycimierz, Klucz, Olszowa, Zalesie Śląskie, Zimna Wódka in Poland.

The tradition was inscribed on UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2021.
