A nature outing in the heart of the Bois de Boulogne

Based in the Parc de la Villa Windsor, Jardins, Jardin leans into a stroll-friendly vibe. Visitors can wander between the landscape designers’ creations, the ephemeral gardens, the craft stalls, and the plant-focused spaces. The event appeals as much to gardening enthusiasts as to those simply seeking a pleasant, uplifting day out in Paris.

This edition also highlights creative workshops for children and families, featuring drawing, embroidery, cyanotype, and jewelry making. Food stalls, a specialty bookstore, and a plant market complete the route, letting visitors extend their stay on site.

Practical ideas to make your daily life greener

Beyond the stroll, Jardins, Jardin also aims to offer practical ideas. From balconies and terraces to building courtyards, small gardens or simply a windowsill: the event highlights accessible solutions to bring more nature into urban spaces.

Visitors can draw inspiration for creating a lush green corner, choose suited plants, deepen their understanding of water use, and discover more sustainable practices. This is one of the festival’s key aims: to offer an enjoyable outing that’s also useful for people who want to take action in their own right.

Biodiversity explained in simple terms

For this edition, Jardins, Jardin teams up with the BioGée Federation, bringing together specialists in the life sciences. The goal: make biodiversity clearer and more accessible to the general public.

A 100 m² educational garden invites visitors to explore best practices and approach the challenges of living systems without heavy jargon. Encounters, activities, and discussion round out this experience, helping people understand the role of plants, soils, water, and ecosystems in our cities.

Stéphane Marie appointed ambassador for the 20th edition

This year's festival is sponsored by Stéphane Marie, a familiar name to gardening enthusiasts. His involvement underscores the spirit of this edition, which centers on the role of plants in urban life and in everyday routines.

Whether you're an amateur gardener, curious about biodiversity, or simply looking for a springtime stroll, Jardins, Jardin stands out as a nature-focused rendezvous to discover in the Bois de Boulogne.
