There were parts of the Meise botanic garden that were dedicated to seasonal displays, and in early autumn: pumpkin season. Such a beautifully arranged garden, with pumpkins of all different colors, shapes and sizes. Yes, the garden in Meise is really impressive. A great example of a space for environmental education, where both wild and cultivated plants from all over the world and examples of seasonality is communicated in the garden grounds. It is not as lush and romantic as some older gardens, like the one in Montpellier or Copenhagen, but the way in which this huge garden is put together is systematic and pedagogical, and really speaks to the researcher in me. A model for outdoor education. I like it.
