Royal Mile, annual borders, Triennale Apeldoorn 2008

The ‘Royal Mile’ in Park Berg en Bos in Apeldoorn is a flower border with a length of 1609,34 meters. This ‘Mile’ has been developed as part of the Triennale Apeldoorn 2008, a triannual event, featuring 100 days of culture, garden and landscape design.

Half of the total length of this Royal Mile has been planted with perennials, which also in years to come will make a splashing show at the entrance of Park Berg en Bos.
The annual border is a continuation of the perennial one and the other half of the Royal Mile. This temporary flower ribbon, consisting of annual flowers and summer flowering bulbs, has been divided into 10 separate borders, each with its own main colour and designed by 10 different border designers and plant specialists from Holland and abroad. It can only be seen in the summer of 2008.
