The Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire's International Garden Festival has been providing a unique panorama of landscape design all over the world since 1992.
In 20 seasons, almost 500 gardens have been designed, which are prototypes of the gardens of the future. At the same time a source of ideas and a nursery for talent, the festival gives an extra boost to the art of gardens and gains the interest of both the public and those in the trade by displaying new flower arrangements, new materials, new ideas and new approaches. The diversity and the high quality of the projects have contributed to the festival's international reputation, which has become an indisputable meeting place for displaying the work of a new generation of landscape gardeners, architects, designers or gardeners.
Next to the Festival, the "Valley of the mists" (Vallon des Brumes), the "organic vegetable garden", the "wild iron pathway" (Sentier des Fers Sauvages) and certain banks show permanent experimental gardens that change throughout the seasons. Read more...
