Flower Carpet: A Living Tapestry of 144,000 Plants
August 29–September 14
Discover our dramatic, one-of-a-kind flower carpet covering 14,400 square feet—larger than six average-sized American homes. Biltmore's garden experts are weaving together 144,000 begonias, coleus, and marigolds into a vivid living carpet on the South Terrace of Biltmore House.
What is a Flower Carpet?
Floral carpets are popular in Europe, most notably in Belgium. The "carpet" is a natural art display, created by thousands of plants arranged in a pattern. This year's design is drawn from architectural elements in Biltmore House.
