Park of topiaries in Durbuy (Belgium) - The smallest city in the world - Part 2

in #travel8 years ago

Hi Steemians!! This is the second part of my blog about the park of topiaries at Durbuy. Like I said previously "topiary art consists in carving trees and garden shrubs for decorative purposes to form hedges, massifs or subjects of very varied shapes, geometric, characters, animals..." [wiki]

By the number of comments received, I was glad to see that I was able to discover this art to many people. Here are the latest pictures.

Enjoy!

A splendid elephant!

Along this path, behind each boxwood is a medicinal plant.
