Place du Village

The Place du Village, a place of life, exchange and sharing

Just like the meeting place of the citizens, the Paysalia’s Place du village (aka Square Village) will offer moments of relaxation and pleasure to the visitors and exhibitors of the show. The space will welcome you with a bowling alley, a coffee, a bookstore conducive to moments of conviviality before sharing in the Agora about many issues of landscape in our society. A new way to discover the 5 gardens of the Carré des Jardiniers contest, whose 2017 theme is also Place du Village.

This unusual place will be staged by Anne Cabrol, Master Gardener 2017, in collaboration with GL events.
TERIDEAL will carry out the landscaping with the support of the students and teachers of the Sainte-Consorce MFR.
Find her winning garden realized in 2017.

In 2008 Adam established Davies White Ltd with fellow landscape architect Andrée Davies.
Together they have won two RHS Gold Medals, two RHS People’s Choice Awards and an RHS Best in Show award.
During 2019 they have worked with the RHS and HRH the Duchess of Cambridge to create four nature inspired gardens which have received international attention.
Adam writes a monthly column for Pro Landscaper and is co-author of Nature Play: Managing Playful Landscapes.
During his talk he will share his experience of creating playful landscapes and gardens through genuine community engagement.
Using case study projects he will bust many of the myths around risk in play and share examples of how good quality design can reduce maintenance headaches.
He will also give an insight into the work the Landscape institute is doing in the UK to encourage the next generation to #chooselandscape as a career.

2.00-2.30pm: The Place of the water in the gardens
The art of gardens is inseparable from the direction of water. Sometimes mirror, sometimes movement, sometimes murmur and source of biodiversity, each of its states inspires landscaping. Climate change is accompanied by a water distribution that fluctuates at the rate of violent weather, how to think about rain gardens that adapt our habitats to these evolutions?
by Sylvie Ligny, GardenLab
2.45-3.45pm: Gardens - the link between man and nature
Like many others before him, Rousseau said it. Man is frightened and powerless in the face of natural forces. Man fears nature. This is why mankind lives in houses, cities and urban spaces without – or only a little – nature. Yet, gardens have brought nature back. But now it is dominated, cultivated in every way, dictated by fashions and tastes in conditions controlled by techniques. However, gardens are not just utilitarian like kitchen gardens or for research, like botanical gardens. They are also for getting away from it all, for relaxation, contemplation and pleasure. Gardens are the proof that nature cannot completely be evinced – and not only because it is useful.
