2009 edition - Gardens of colour

02. Ceci n’est pas un monochrome

published at 15/06/2018
Ceci n’est pas un monochrome, Festival International des Jardins 2010 - © DR

This monochrome garden highlights both the fascination with blue and the impossibility of a monochrome garden, insofar as all flowers, even when similar, have different shades and the landscape architect does not use paint, but living plant matter which is constantly changing. The visitor contemplates this blue field from a garden house designed with very clean lines.
