On Saturday May 24th some students from France with parents and teachers went to visit the parc of Chaumont sur Loire castle. We all collected ideas and we cannot wait to make our own garden. Back at school, the students (with the help of the maths teacher) measured the area where the garden will be and drew a plan, working on scales. Once the plan is finished they will start creating the garden.... probably not before September.

. "The International Garden Festival has been providing a unique panorama of landscape design all over the world since 1992.

In 22 seasons, almost 580 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 vegetable Garden, the Children’s Garden and some of the flowerbeds offer the public permanent experimental gardens that change with the passing seasons."
