Des arbres et des hommes – Asnières-sur-Oise (France)
Of Trees and Men
Created in 2004 by the landscapers Damée, Vallet & Associés Paysagistes (DVA), this garden of medieval inspiration, referred to as the Jardin des 9 Carrés (9-squared garden), is designed to host exhibitions on plants, their usage and the way we see them. Upon each new plant collection, the garden focuses on an aspect of the complex relationship between people and nature, equally in the Middle Ages and in modern times. This year, and up to 2025, the theme ‘Of Trees and Men’ offers an exploration into the daily lives of medieval men and women and their relationships with trees.
