Discussion Days - Unfolding Possibilities<\/h4>\r\n

The 25th edition will kick off with the entertaining and thought-provoking Discussion Day. The first conference-type event organized by the Festival since 2001, Discussion Days will take place over the F\u00eate Nationale \/ Saint-Jean-Baptiste holiday weekend in Grand-M\u00e9tis. This interdisciplinary event will bring together professionals, experts, students, the 2024 designers, and members of the general public. More than just a series of lectures, Discussion Days are ultimately about creating a safe space to share ideas and challenge preconceptions about the built environment, the cultural landscape, and biodiversity. The keynote will be given by Chantal Colleu-Dumond, Executive and Artistic Director of the Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire and its Festival International des Jardins.

Special Onsite Project<\/h4>\r\n
Pergola \/ J\u00e9r\u00f4me Lapierre Architecte<\/h5>\r\n

The International Garden Festival asked J\u00e9r\u00f4me Lapierre Architecte<\/a> to design a small pavilion to mark its main entrance. Pergola, which will be inaugurated on June 22, offers a contemporary reimagining of the small garden structure traditionally used to provide shade and support for climbing plants. Made of thin walls of interwoven red oak slats, Pergola seeks to celebrate and showcase the play of light and shadow in the surrounding gardens, creating a filter that reveals the true beauty of the site.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Bruissement d\u2019ailes \/ Festival International des Jardins of the Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire (Bernard Chapuis and Georges Vafias)<\/h5>\r\n

The culmination of a bilateral agreement between France and Qu\u00e9bec, the Bruissement d\u2019ailes<\/a> garden highlights the need to get back to basics, to be as close as possible to our natural environment. Climate change and the destruction of natural habitats\u2014these are the new conditions that the world\u2019s temperate zones are now facing. Fragility, imbalance, and uncertainty are now the order of the day, requiring each and every one of us to adapt to a changing climate by doing everything possible to temper the harmful effects of rising temperatures, by rethinking our behaviour, by battling heat islands, and by using new or traditional ways to address the problem of water and shade scarcity.<\/p>\r\n

New Gardens\u2014International Call for Proposals<\/h4>\r\n

This year, Artistic Director \u00c8ve De Garie-Lamanque invited designers to imagine the future of the garden. Four projects were selected amongst the 216 submitted (from 30 countries)<\/p>\r\n
