Flower Carpet
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. The intricate pattern of colorful plants is drawn from architectural elements in George Vanderbilt's magnificent home, and interpreted in a grand size and style befitting the unsurpassed location.
Floral carpets are popular in Europe, most notably in Belgium, few in America have had the opportunity to view this larger-than-life combination of natural beauty blended with creative inspiration. However, even this chance is limited as Biltmore's Flower Carpet will be in place for only 17 days.
