Renewing itself with each passing year, the event serves to reflect and provide an overview of current trends and changes in landscaping and garden creation. In 25 seasons, over 700 gardens have been created on the estate – prototypes of tomorrow’s green spaces, as the Festival acts as a nursery for talents bringing fresh ideas and an often out-of-kilter vision, and revitalising those “living artworks”, our gardens. The diversity, creativity and quality of projects combining art, science, botany and poetry have helped establish the Festival’s reputation worldwide, making it an unmissable rendezvous for the presentation of works by landscapers, architects, designers, scenographers and gardeners of all ages and disciplines coming from all four corners of the world: Asia, Africa, across the Atlantic and, of course, Europe. Inspired and inspiring, every year and with equal measures of humour and audaciousness, they offer us new ways of seeing, experiencing and creating gardens. They also invite us to respect our planet and live on it with poetry in our hearts. Chaumont-sur-Loire’s secret lies in tireless invention and reinvention. Wide open to the world and its evolutions, garden observatory and laboratory alike, the International Garden Festival is celebrating its 26th birthday this year and invites us to discover the many powers that flowers possess, essential not only for their bewitching beauty but also for the key role they play in the survival of our species. Chantal Colleu-Dumond Director, International Garden Festival 4 www.domaine-chaumont.fr 5 DOMAIN OF CHAUMONT-SUR-LOIRE CENTRE OF ARTS AND NATURE 26TH INTERNATIONAL GARDEN FESTIVAL I. 2017 EDITION : FLOWER POWER / LE POUVOIR DES FLEURS In every age and civilisation since the dawn of time, in art and in literature, flowers real and figurative have played an essential role in the human imagination. There can be no-one who is unaware of their infinite variety, formal perfection, mystery and symbolic power. Their beauty, their scent, their brilliance, their colour and even their flavour bewitch the senses. As eternal as they are ephemeral, delicate and powerful alike, whether garden-grown or wild, flowers harbour the power to fascinate, to charm, to cure, and even to kill. And, not so long ago, didn’t people also hope that they had the power to “change the world, change our souls, change our hearts”? How will the 21st century’s gardens regard, use and make the utmost of the extraordinary and unfailing capacities, the incredible power of grace, that flowers command? Radically new, contemporary and highly original scenographies, seeking to amaze, bewitch and conjure up dreams, finding fresh ways of combining flower varieties and making the utmost of them – this is what the 2017 edition’s designers have achieved, acting alongside nurseries of excellence to present a range of rare and truly outstanding blooms, their shapes as unexpected as their colours and their scents. Drawing on the wellsprings of a resolutely present-day imagination and making use of all available technical possibilities, the 2017 edition will take you from discovery to discovery, from invention to invention. Passing from one garden to the next, you will come across unprecedented scenarios, mises en scène of hitherto unseen flowers brought together in the most unexpected fashions, playing on accumulation and surprises of every shape and size. Fantasy, luxuriousness, abundance and wonder will all be there to greet you, in the heart of audacious, innovative and dreamlike gardens. “Every flower that opens, you might say opens my eyes. Inadvertently. Without there being any act of will on either side. By opening, it opens something else much more than itself. It’s sensing this that surprises you and brings you joy”.

Her work includes philosophical and spiritual aspects: each flower is selected for a particular reason. The copper wire she uses to fix them in place has become her trademark. Colours are chosen and organised with meticulous care. The artist has exhibited her installations in a wide variety of venues, from galleries to churches: her “The Flower Garden Display’d” project saw her suspending a total of 4,600 flowers from the vaulted ceiling of a church. Rebecca Louise-Law is known for the way she transforms space into colourful poetic universes by suspending “I like to capture and cherish small beautiful natural hundreds or even thousands of flowers within its confines. objects to create artworks that can be observed without Rebecca Louise Law’s sculptures exalt the beauty of the pressure of time.

In 1993 he became the fourth member of the Landscape Institute to receive its Gold Medal. Jakobsen's family owned a nursery business and while he showed little interest in plants in his early days he later chose to study horticulture in his native Denmark. In 1953 he began studying at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, where he became interested in landscape design, eventually returning to Denmark to study landscape architecture at the Danish Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Jakobsen returned to England permanently in 1961 and started work for Eric Lyons on Span housing schemes. This collaboration lasted until 1969 when he set up his own private practice with his architect wife Margaret. Jakobsen was considered one of the leading landscape architects of his time and was described by Geoffrey Jellicoe as 'a designer of outstanding ability'. He lectured on planting and planting design and contribution to 'Design with plants', edited by Brian Clouston for the Landscape Institute.

  • The Singapore Garden Festival
    The Singapore Garden Festival http://www.singaporegardenfestival.com/nico_wissing_holland.htm HOME : Award Winning Designers :Landscape Gardens NICO WISSING - Holland For the Dutch garden designer Nico Wissing (Megchelen, 1961), this is a remarkable project: the design and layout of a model garden during the first Singapore Garden Festival ; "From all around the world, ten landscape architects and garden designers have been invited to design a garden in Singapore. It is a great honour to be part of such a select group". Wissing is - what should be described in all modesty as - a rising star in the global landscape of garden designers. His designs are increasingly attracting attention in the Netherlands and abroad. Without exception, every Wissing Garden is well-received. The starting point for the design of a Wissing Garden is basically simple: emotion. Or, as the designer himself likes to say, "You should as it were be able to feel a garden". This Dutch designer still lives in the village where he was born and grew up, Megchelen, a green village surrounded by nature, right on the border with Germany . Wissing's love of flowers and plants, in particular roses, emerged at a young age. Nico was born with green fingers, and those same green fingers are now bringing him international acclaim. At the invitation of the Dutch government, Nico Wissing was one of the four participants to produce the Dutch submission for the World Expo in Germany (Hanover 2000). His moving garden , designed in 2002 for the Floriade, the Dutch world garden exhibition organised only once every ten years, proved a major talking point.
