Every first weekend of autumn marks Paris’s grand Garden Festival on September 22nd and 23rd, when public and private gardens across the flower capital open their doors to residents. Special guides introduce local flora, while dedicated staff lead tours of urban landscapes; this year, the Blue Forest in the center of the National Library of France is specially opened. Experts demonstrate planting techniques and answer questions about indoor plants. Additionally, innovative park theaters engage younger audiences. These activities raise environmental awareness and education, bringing people closer to nature and allowing them to enjoy Paris’s unique natural resources. During the festival, those who enjoy exploring secluded spots can visit rare monastery gardens and vegetable patches, ministerial residence courtyards, and even the enchanting gardens of the Élysée Palace. Program schedules and related information are available from district governments or via the Paris city website, ensuring a wonderful weekend for all.
