Garden news

From 25 to 27 September 2026, the Château de Saint-Jean de Beauregard will host the Autumn Plant Fair, a leading event in the French horticultural world. In this exceptional historic setting, over 200 exhibitors — including some of the most renowned nursery growers, plant producers and horticultural artisans — will come together to offer visitors a carefully curated selection of plants, ranging from tried-and-tested favourites to the most sought-after rarities. This is a unique opportunity to meet the cream of the crop of specialists and purchase high-quality plants directly from the growers themselves.

In autumn, the garden takes on a new rhythm. It is time for the harvest, but also for the planting to come. This season offers particularly favourable conditions for trees, shrubs and perennials to take root, promising a flourishing garden come spring. As they stroll along the paths, visitors will gather advice, inspiration and a selection of plants to help them design a sustainable garden that blends tradition with renewal.

The 2026 theme, ‘Beautiful and Nourishing Plants’, celebrates this subtle blend of beauty and abundance. Sun-kissed fruits, flamboyant foliage, edible and aromatic plants: all these varieties delight the eye as much as they do the palate, and encourage us to think of the garden as a living, fertile space. A true highlight of the horticultural calendar, the event offers a rich and accessible programme throughout the weekend: hands-on workshops, talks, demonstrations and advice on autumn planting and making the most of your harvest. As every year, the awards ceremony will recognise the most remarkable plants and expertise.
