About
In the nineteenth century and until around WW II, Belgium enjoyed a leading position in the international field of horticulture and fruit farming in particular. The Gaasbeek Museum Garden takes visitors right back to those glory days. In association with the Agency for Immovable Heritage, the Agency for Nature and Forests has put all its know-how and passion into building a garden of unrivalled beauty, taking its cues from the castle gardens as they were in the 19th century. A masterly example of living cultural heritage. The focal point is the garden’s unique collection of fruit trees in espalier shapes. The Gaasbeek Museum Garden is around 5 acres in size, located in stunning surroundings within Gaasbeek Estate, with a view of the Castle and a ten-kilometre panoramic vista of the Pajottenland. Also open to visitors in the local area are the Castle Museum, Gaasbeek Park and Groenenberg Park with its unique collections. Well worth a visit.

This was a perfect time to visit the museum garden, there were ripe fruit falling off the trees, vegetables ready for harvest, and amazing plants to look at. We were in awe of this wonderful garden. They have volunteers who give guided tours on the weekends. Hint - they give their berries to the ice cream shop across the road so after your visit, go get an ice cream.
