It has rich outdoor collections displayed in a landscaped park of more than 90 hectares, as well as collections of exotic plants in the Plant Palace, one of the largest greenhouse complexes in Europe. Among the countless plant collections at Meise, one particularly catches our eye: the begonia collection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">At the heart of the Plant Palace, in a small collection greenhouse, more than 170 taxa are displayed, with 51 hybrids and 125 botanical species. Cultivation is traditional, with clay pots on benches covered with a bed of sand or directly on the greenhouse floor. The substrate is a mix of leaf mould, peat and perlite. The collection, the largest in Belgium, focuses on botanical species without forgetting the hybrids, including a fine collection of <em>Begonia<\/em> Rex-cultorum. Among the most interesting taxa are <em>Begonia cathayana<\/em>,<em> Begonia hemsleyana<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Begonia socotrana<\/em> and <em>Begonia versicolor.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To protect the plants, the small collection greenhouses are closed to the public.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n            \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gf-container container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"vc_grid-container-wrapper vc_clearfix vc_grid-animation-fadeIn\">\n\t<div class=\"vc_grid-container vc_clearfix wpb_content_element vc_media_grid\" data-initial-loading-animation=\"fadeIn\" data-vc-grid-settings=\"{&quot;page_id&quot;:175,&quot;style&quot;:&quot;all&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:&quot;vc_get_vc_grid_data&quot;,&quot;shortcode_id&quot;:&quot;1648754753115-8c1ec5255d21f896dfb147942347d631-4&quot;,&quot;tag&quot;:&quot;vc_media_grid&quot;}\" data-vc-request=\"https:\/\/afabego.fr\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\" data-vc-post-id=\"175\" data-vc-public-nonce=\"7add6b4c7a\">\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n            \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gf-container container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h4>Informations pratiques<\/h4>\n<p>The garden is open all year from 9:30 am to 5 pm, with seasonal variations.
