According to this article, this festival is "more than a giant open air plant and gardening fair", it should not "be missed".
The exhibitors are "selected carefully" and some of them come to show their "majestic" trees in the park of the "lovely 17th century" chateau.
The ambiance is "very relaxed, uncrowded, fun and yet stimulating". The author specifies there are "lovely" roses, "sumptuous" clematis, "gorgeous and tempting" peonies and "architectural" plants to see.
If the visitors are starving, they can find a "range of food" like a "full service" "sit-down" restaurant, or a Panini or sandwich bar for "casual" dining. People can also enjoy their lunch under some "wonderful" trees near the fair and the chateau.
A "plant creche" is presented as a convenient place where to leave the "lovely new" plants while the visitors continue their visit.
