The Flower Carpet on the Grand-Place/Grote Markt (main square) in Brussels

A flower carpet[a] is a design made on the ground with flowers or flower petals arranged in patterns. Flower carpet events happen in many places around the world.[1]

Examples

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.[2] The event takes place every other August, coordinating with Assumption Day.[3] Nearly a million flowers are required to create the ephemeral 1,800 m2 (19,000 sq ft) carpet.[4][5]

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

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.[7]

Flower carpets are also made on the occasion of Onam festival in Kerala, India, to welcome the legendary king, Mahabali.
