La Prairie
Louvain

Prairie Louvain is an iconic intervention in District Central, designed to enrich the lives of those who work and live in the area. This monumental field of flowers, spanning more than 18,000 square feet, offers a green space in the heart of an urban area. The first initiative of the Signature Plan, it embodies a commitment to transforming the district into an inspiring and welcoming place.

HERE, WE SOW FLOURISHING PROJECTS

Sown in May 2023, the first phase of this metamorphosis is a response to the needs expressed by workers, business owners, residents and visitors to the area over the last few years. Its figurehead is the emblematic Prairie Louvain - a monumental field of sunflowers that will brighten up the entire neighborhood.

THE RETURN OF LA PRAIRIE LOUVAIN

After the success of its first edition with its 10,000 sunflowers, La Prairie Louvain is transformed in 2024 into a wild meadow of vibrant colors, mixing perennials and annuals.

Live an immersive experience in which you can admire:

  • The return of the emblematic sunflower, this time surrounded by a diversity of species.
  • A multicolored meadow of perennials and annuals celebrating biodiversity.
  • A selection of plants used to make textiles, underlining the link with local industry.
  • A creative installation of a monumental arch, evoking the buildings that frame the site and the curtains that hang from their windows.
