Living Gardens

« Spaces that gather, nourish and inspire »

From June 4 to July 9 2025

To mark the 9ᵉ edition of Jardins ouverts, the “Jardins vivants” photo competition invites you to take a fresh look at these green spaces that forge links in the heart of the city. Set out to discover these everyday gardens, where plants are grown through the seasons, and ideas, memories and gestures are shared.

Photograph a friendly watering at dawn, a bench occupied by an unexpected conversation, an impromptu meal between neighbors, or children playing in the shade of an old chestnut tree. These simple but essential moments make the garden a real place to live. Alone, with family or friends, come and explore these green spaces through a sensitive and collective approach, and share the way you see these living spaces.

Jardin Ouverts Created by Région Île-de-France in 2017, the event Jardins ouverts, which takes place from July 5th to August 31st 2023, aims at shining a light on the rich natural and cultural heritage of Île-de-France and to respond to the desire for nature felt by the inhabitants of the region, through a moment of sharing, transmission and conviviality.

Region Ile-de-France : Patrimonial service and Inventory The region of Île-de-France works in most of the domains concerning the future of twelve millions inhabitants : transports, schools, apprenticeships, economic development, environment and culture. In the cultural sector, as a priority, the region supports 5 sections : live performances, cinema and audiovisual, books and reading, art and heritage. The regional policies in favour of heritage has been developed in two specific fields : an obligatory expertise in inventory and valorisation of heritage of Île-de-France, especially with studies of gardens and local productions ; measures to help for conservation, restauration and the valorisation of these estates. In the framework of the new heritage policies voted in July 2017, the region of Île-de-France wanted to reinforce the support of protected and unprotected estates, especially by creating a label for estates of regional interest that encompasses landscapes and gardens. It takes in consideration, henceforth, all the steps of the patrimonial chain, of identification and of research until the valorisation of the estates, giving it unprecedented scope.
