Garden admission is charged according to the price list; guided tours are free.
Let’s Meet in the Gardens is an event highlighting the richness and diversity of historic and contemporary parks and gardens across Europe. The initiative began in France, where Rendez-vous aux jardins has taken place on the first weekend in June for over twenty years. In 2018, the event expanded to other European gardens and parks. This year’s theme is ‘Five Senses in the Garden: Sight’.
