The BNF (Bibliothèque Nationale de France - François Mitterand) is inviting us to discover its forest garden as part of the Rendez-vous aux Jardins event to be held in Paris and the Île-de-France region from June 2 to 4, 2023.

Rendez-vous aux Jardins returns this weekend, from June 2 to 4, 2023. This not-to-be-missed warm-weather event invites us to rediscover our green spaces in a new light, through a fabulous program offree events and exceptional visits. It's an opportunity for all nature lovers and the curious to take advantage of both private and public parks and gardens. Of course, Paris and the whole of the Île-de-France region are part of this event initiated by the French Ministry of Culture!

Among the most surprising spots to discover this year is the Jardin-forêt at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France - François Mitterand, also known by its acronym "BNF". The concept of this unusual green setting is based on the principle of permaculture, an ecological approach that aims to recreate forest ecosystems in an urban environment. Unlike traditional gardens, where plants are arranged in an orderly, aesthetic fashion, the Jardin Forêt favors a more natural, wild approach. Plants are arranged to mimic the interactions between the different species present in a real forest.

This unusual garden also offers numerous ecological advantages. The presence of a wide variety of plants promotes biodiversity and attracts a multitude of insects and birds. What's more, permaculture limits the need for water, fertilizers and pesticides, making it an environmentally-friendly space.
