Op 14, 15 en 16 september is het weer zover. Dan wordt het stadscentrum van Hoogstraten opnieuw getooid in groenten- en bloemenpracht. De 25ste editie maar liefst! En die moet uiteraard gevierd worden. Maar liefst 30 stukken over een verlengd parcours trekken heel graag de aandacht naar zich toe dit weekend. Maar er is meer!⁠
⁠
Waar beter dan in de Sint-Katharinakerk, wordt voor de gelegenheid een prachtige overzichtstentoonstelling opgezet. Struin mee door 25 jaar ‘Hoogstraten in groenten & bloemen’-geschiedenis en word meegezogen in het vroeger en nu van dit uniek evenement.⁠

🌸🍅 Dive into the vibrant world of floral artistry at the "Hoogstraten in Flowers and Vegetables" event! Last year, we showcased this extraordinary design featuring 26,000 cherry tomatoes from Den Berk Growers, beautifully combined with Sandersonia flowers. 🌼

This "less is more" design uses just two materials: the luscious orange tomatoes and the delicate orange Sandersonia, all meticulously assembled by our passionate volunteers. With almost 1 mile of string, each tomato is carefully placed to create a mesmerizing display.

Join us and be a part of this unique blend of horticulture and creativity from the 14th to the 16th of September. 📸



Come experience the stunning simplicity and intricate beauty of this remarkable floral design event in Hoogstraten, Belgium. See you there! 😊💐 hoogstrateningroentenenbloemen hoogstraten.enjoy Stad Hoogstraten Visit Hoogstraten

Floral art installation at Saatchi Gallery London

A vision of transformation and creation. A floating tablecloth made from autumn leaves transitioning to colorful flowers, leading to a space of limitless possibilities. This sustainable design employs locally grown, nature-friendly techniques at the in London.

Transition and transformation lie at the core of my work. Life and death are intertwined, each giving meaning to the other in an eternal dance. This creation became deeply personal for me when I had to let go of my sister, who passed away unexpectedly during this project’s creation. Visitors are invited to contemplate this interplay within the floral essence of this installation, now on display at the iconic Saatchi Gallery in London.

A huge thank you to everyone who has visited the exhibition, and to my family and friends for your incredible support! Special thanks to Hannah Bennett for bringing this experience to the Saatchi Gallery also Louis, Gust, my floral angels for the helping hands, and , , and for your enthusiasm and essential roles in making this happen.

This installation has been thoughtfully crafted with locally grown, fresh-cut flowers from . The used flowers will be repurposed by into biodegradable fresh-petal confetti 🌸.

Massive appreciation goes to and for your support and trust in us to pull this all together!

Visit the exhibition at , open until June 3rd. 🌸
