Half an hour or so with a commuter bus from central Brussels lies the Meise botanic garden. It is BIG. Impressive. Covering 92 hectares of land, it can not be fully seen in a day. When I visited in 2017, I could have spent several days there, wandering around in the groves and thematic gardens. There was a traditional, convent-style garden in full autumn bloom, inhabited by bright butterflies. Another garden had only medicinal plants, with small signs explaining what the plants have been used for. And a modern, globe-covering complex of large greenhouses.
