A unique opportunity to have a unique and original photo of your little darling!
Wed 19 Jun - Wed 7 Aug

In Meise Botanic Garden, parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, godparents and godmothers... can have their smallest children photographed on the leaves of our giant water lily.

The leaves of giant water lilies are very sturdy and can be more than two metres in diameter. In June and July, when the giant water lilies in the Plantenpaleis are at their peak, babies up to one year old can have their picture taken on the leaves.

We organize this in cooperation with Weleda! Meise Botanic Garden and Weleda share a passion for nature and a desire to protect, conserve and experience biodiversity. Both organisations are keen to join forces to raise the profile of biodiversity

During this unique event, Weleda would like to introduce parents and their babies to its organic & 100% natural care products.
