Presentation

Rendezvous from Friday the 10th to Monday the 13th of September 2010 for the most beautiful landscaping event on the Riviera: “Rencontre de Jardins”, in Gassin in the heart of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.

In the entirely vegetal park of the Derbez Nurseries, on more than 25,000m2, this 6th annual fair is growing and will give place of honour to the innovations and new creations of the 250 exhibiters divided amongst the theme villages.

This fair will guide you in the development of your outdoor spaces, from vegetal décor to outdoor furniture, all while integrating design and ecology, in order to participate in the protection of the environment and discover the trends towards a new way of life.

About us

The most beautiful landscaping event on the Riviera…

In just five years, the garden fair “Rencontre de Jardins”, which started in 2005 with a family of 35 exhibitors on 5000m2 of exhibition space, has become a benchmark in the south of France in the fields of gardening, exterior design and layout, and the Environment.

Going way beyond just its regional setting, our event today brings together more than 250 exhibitors on a specially arranged park of over 25,000m2. Indeed, through the rigorous selection process and the quality of our exhibitors with their spectacular presentations, our fair has distinguished itself and we have, since two years ago, gone beyond 10,000 visitors to reach 12,000 visitors in 2009, a 20% increase over 2008.

The “Professionals’ Day” at the fair, followed by its late evening opening, beat all the records of the previous year. More than 5000 professionals made the trip and in great numbers they participated in the evening opening devoted to them on the first day and enjoyed the cocktails offered at each stand by the exhibitors. 7000 private individuals came to our fair, a quality clientele, ever more concerned about the environment and the beauty of their outdoor spaces.

Conferences, workshops, garden creation competitions and diverse activities are on the programme, so don’t miss this event!
