Floriade, the World's Fair of horticultural shows, is the largest public event in the Netherlands. The exhibition, which takes place only once every 10 years, will make its third appearance of the 21st Century from April to October, 2022. The location will move from Venlo to Almere, a modern "garden city" near Amsterdam that was built on land reclaimed from the sea.
