Fête de Soisy-sur-Seine

The Fête de Soisy-sur-Seine: gardens, culture, and conviviality

The town of Soisy-sur-Seine (91450) is a village in the Essonne region with approximately 5,000 inhabitants, bordered by the Seine and rich in natural spaces and remarkable landscape heritage. Its festive life unfolds throughout the year, with the Fête des Jardins as its highlight, an unmissable event celebrating nature, horticulture, and the art of gardening.

The Fête des Jardins: a spring event

The Fête des Jardins in Soisy-sur-Seine is organized every year in May at the Parc du Grand Veneur, a vast communal green space bordering the Seine. For a weekend, the park transforms into an exhibition and sharing garden: flower and plant exhibitions, sales by nurseries and horticulturists, workshops on sustainable gardening, and nature discovery workshops follow one another for the pleasure of visitors.

The 2025 edition, dedicated to the theme of sustainable gardens, offered a varied program of exhibitions, presentations, and sales of flowers, plants, and natural products. Environmental associations and gardening specialists were present to inform and raise visitors' awareness of the issues of biodiversity and ecological horticulture.
