We talk about “screen generations” or “ultra-connected generations”. Which does not seem to completely disconnect us from nature. The proof with the sale of tickets for the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken, sold out in absolutely record time. Yes, fields of flowers, pretty greenhouses and expanses of wild grass manage to conquer our hearts in inexplicable ways. Every spring, we take the opportunity to admire the most beautiful corners of Belgium: from the botanical garden of Meise to the castle of Grand-Bigard, to name but a few.
Belgian national parks to discover for spring:
The most beautiful flower fields in the world
One of these spaces in particular seems to be unanimously appreciated by the public. A study commissioned by the British hotel chain Premier Inn has just revealed its top 10 most beautiful flower fields around the world this spring. This using the scientific technique of eye-tracking. Concretely, the study analyzed nearly 50 fields from all corners of the globe, from the lupines of Lake Tekapo to the lavender fields of Castle Farm, and retained those which had caught the gaze (fixation) of the participants the longest.
Result ? There is a prevalence of eye-catching fields across Europe, with eight of the fifteen most beautiful flower fields located on the continent. In question ? Probably its long history of horticulture and garden design. Which does not prevent the top 3 from being occupied mainly by countries outside Europe. Indeed, the field of daisies in Torres del Paine National Park in Chile is the field of flowers that seems to attract the most attention, holding participants’ gaze for 3.89 seconds on average, followed by Claude Monet’s garden at Giverny in France, then the Crested Butte Wildflower Festival in Colorado.
Belgium in ninth position
Good news for those who don’t want to cross the globe to admire one of these fields of flowers. Belgium appears in ninth position in the ranking thanks to Hallebos and its famous hyacinths. No wonder, since every year, this spectacle attracts thousands of nature lovers from all over the world.
The best time to go there? From the second half of April, when the hyacinths turn purple and give off their subtle fragrant smell. Daffodils, wood anemones, but also false buttercups also bloom during the month of April. To appreciate the precious flowers and all their shades of color, we recommend visiting the woods at dawn. For what ? The colors are even more beautiful at sunrise. In addition, you will not be bothered by the flow of visitors.
