Jardins, jardin takes up its position this year, with a strong theme: cultivated natures. Nature is both a source of inspiration and a source of life. It is admired and transcended by artists and by everyone who draws energy and comfort from it. It is also shaped and structured by the hands of landscapers and gardeners, to shelter, nourish and refresh. The "Cultivated Natures" theme encompasses three essential and inseparable dimensions: the intimate link between culture and gardens, garden culture and plant cultures. Three dimensions which demonstrate the hybridization between nature and culture, and which will be found on the proposed itinerary in the grounds of Villa Windsor" XavierLaureau, co-founder of Jardins, jardin.

Jardins, Jardin à la Villa Windsor is not only an opportunity to celebrate urban landscape art and plant innovations, but also a privileged moment to discover a site steeped in history. Managed by the Fondation Mansart, this 1.6-hectare estate is an ideal setting for the 30 ephemeral gardens, the hundred or so exhibitors, and the activities planned for the 20,000 visitors expected. This edition marks a new impetus for Jardins, Jardin, which is evolving towards a more festival-like spirit, highlighting the growing importance of adapting urban green spaces to climate change.

The Villa Windsor, located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, is easily accessible via the Route du Champ-d'Entrainement. The property, with its Georgian-style architecture and vast park, offers a majestic setting for this event. The Mansart Foundation, committed to the restoration and enhancement of heritage, is opening this exceptional venue for the first time, in keeping with its mission to preserve spaces of great cultural and historical interest.

The 2024 edition of Jardins, Jardin à la Villa Windsor is the perfect opportunity for gardening professionals and enthusiasts alike to meet, exchange ideas and get inspired by the latest trends in urban gardening and outdoor design. Visitors can not only admire unique landscape creations, but also take part in workshops and conferences, and meet exhibitors who have come to share their passion and expertise.

This transition to the Villa Windsor reflects the evolution of Jardins, Jardin since its creation. Born in the prestigious Hôtel de Bourbon Condé, then moved to the Tuileries, the show now finds a new lease of life in a historic venue, marking its deep roots in Parisian history and culture. This anniversary edition is an invitation to discover an exceptional site, to immerse yourself in the world of urban gardening and to celebrate together the wealth of our capital's green heritage.

Each year at the show, you'll discover some thirty terraces and balconies, created by renowned landscape designers or up-and-coming young talents. Creating extraordinary gardens in the setting of this historic Parisian garden has been the aim of this open-air show since 2003. Come and stroll through these private gardens in search of great ideas for our own gardens, to dream or simply to delight our senses - these are just some of the reasons why we love this event.

As it has every year since 2003, Jardins, jardin offers a wealth of workshops and events. A rich and varied program for the whole family, enthusiasts and amateurs alike: bouquet demonstrations, herbarium workshops, vegetable garden workshops and headdress creations are all on the menu.

Every day, conferences for all extend Wednesday's professional debates, echoing recent events dedicated to plants and landscape. Architecture, health and the environment, the circular economy, ecology and urban agriculture are just some of the topics on offer.

And yes, Jardins Jardin is much more than just a sales area for terrace and balcony projects. It's also a flower showroom where nurserymen and other garden professionals come to sell their finest plants and showcase their outdoor equipment and innovations.

This 20th edition promises plenty of surprises.
