FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL DES JARDINS

Each year, the International Garden Festival of Chaumont sur Loire welcomes designers from around the world. This year, the jury – chaired by the leading conductor William Christie – had to consider almost 300 projects, and chose 26 projects designed by international multidisciplinary teams. Added to the “green cards” given to the Domaine’s guests, that brings to more than thirty the number of new gardens presented in 2014. The gardens have come from everywhere: the United Kingdom, the USA, Japan, Korea, Italy, the Netherlands, and of course France, and they will surprise you, make you dream.

For its 23rd edition, the theme chosen was “The Gardens of the Deadly Sins”, allowing for multiple and passionate interpretations of those famous sins, whether pride, covetousness, gluttony, sloth, or greed...

Since 1992, The International Garden Festival has been a laboratory and an observatory for garden creation in the world. Over 22 seasons, over 600 gardens have been created: prototypes of the gardens of tomorrow. All at once a source of ideas and a breeding ground for talent, the Festival gives fresh dynamism to the art of gardens, always seeking out new plants, new materials, innovative ideas, and innovative approaches.

The variety, creativity, and quality of the gardens have contributed to establishing the Festival’s worldwide reputation. The Festival has become an unmissable forum for a new generation of landscapers, architects, scenographers, and gardeners
