    We had a trip to Brussels last week and made the trip out to the botanical gardens (about 10k from the centre of Brussels).

    The Main glass house is pretty big and we spent ages in there. Taking loads of pics, which i uploaded to our blog site last night.

    National Botanic Garden of Belgium - A tour of the Plant Palace ~ Alternative Eden

    Well worth the trip, and as its off the main tourist trail (not even in the guide book we had) its a very quiet garden to look round, almost had it to ourselves the whole time.

        We assume it was deliberate as it was in such a prominent position. Made me smile, much better that the usual graffiti you get with people carving names onto agaves!
