Registration for organizing 'Floriade 2022' opens

As of this week, the Netherlands Horticultural Council (NTR) has opened the registration for the organizing of the 2022 edition of the Floriade, the World Horticultural Expo that is held only every ten years.

A number of different regions, such as Noord-Holland Noord, Boskoop and the city of Almere, have already indicated their desire to organize the 2022 Floriade. They usually do so by providing the organizing council with a general description of their vision for the Floriade project.

Once the deadline is up, the event’s selection commission will choose a maximum of five potential candidates out of all the proposals that have been submitted. They will subsequently be asked to produce a more fully detailed project plan for the vast floriculture expo.

The Netherlands Horticultural Council would like to be able to announce the new organizers of the 2022 Floriade sometime in October, before the closing of the 2012 edition of the horticultural event.

That upcoming Floriade 2012 will be held in the Dutch city of Venlo, in the southernmost province of Limburg. The event revolves around the concept of ‘Green Emotions’ and will feature five large themed areas, on a site spanning roughly 66 hectares.
