The International Garden Festival is a wonderful gathering for enthusiasts of flowers, including growers, designers, and landscapers from around the globe. Since its inception in 1992, this event has taken place at Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire, where attendees can immerse themselves in a blend of modern design, creativity, poetry, and the beauty of nature. The highlight of the festival is the Prés du Goualoup, established in 2012, which spans over 10 hectares. This area features permanent gardens inspired by the great civilizations of Japan, China, Korea, and the UK, showcasing the talents of renowned architects and landscapers like Leon Kluge, Wang Shu, and Shodo Suzuki, along with international artists such as Andrea Branzi, Chris Dury, and Pablo Reinoso. Be sure to explore the impressive plant collections, which include clematis, dahlias, peonies, asters, and a delightful vegetable garden.
