This year the World Horticultural Expo, which is organized only one in every ten years in The Netherlands, is in Venlo from 5 April to 7 October.
If you plan a trip to The Netherlands or to Belgium or Germany, don't forget to visit this wonderful expo. Anyone with green fingers will like it. I will visit it at least one time and will post my experiences here.
For information this is their website: http://www.floriade.com/floriade-2012.
