International meeting Botanical garden Meise Brussels (Belgium)

[Texeltropics]

Im organizing an international meeting on May 30th, 2015. There will be lectures take place, various stands with plantsales from all kinds of plants, and people that swap or sell plants from their own private collections. There are also tours behind the scenes. For these tours you have to sign in..there is limited space. It started to be a meeting for cycadlovers (European Cycad Society) but to make it attractive to a larger group of people there is chosen for more plantgroups like palms, aroids and succulents. If you want to join this day please sent me a message or email to info@texeltropics.nl to sign in. People who sign in before will get discount on the entrance. (5 euro instead of 7 euro) It will take place at the nice caste.

The website of the botanical garden in Meise is www.br.fgov.be

its a very nice and very large garden.

Sorry for the late respons Esther but unfornately I cannot join this meeting. I need to arrange some other things that weekend that have a bigger priority.
Hopefully you will organise it again next year, then I defitenely will join you.

Good luck and hopefully it will be a fantastic day for you and the people that are going to visit this meeting.
