Foire aux Plantes de Joigny

The great plant festival on the banks of the Yonne

Every spring, Joigny transforms into a vast open-air garden during its Foire aux Plantes. The banks of the Yonne and the historic center of the town host dozens of nursery owners, horticulturists, and specialized producers from all over the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region to offer a quality plant selection to gardeners from the Yonne and neighboring departments.

An exceptional plant market

The fair brings together carefully selected plant professionals: regional nursery owners offering fruit trees, ornamental shrubs, and country hedges, horticulturists specializing in perennials and ornamental grasses, producers of aromatic, medicinal, and vegetable plants, rose growers presenting the latest creations and old varieties. Each stand offers a unique opportunity to get personalized advice for your garden, balcony, or terrace.

Expert advice in the heart of Jovinien

One of the strengths of the Foire aux Plantes de Joigny lies in the availability and expertise of the professionals present. Unlike large garden centers, the exhibitors at the fair are above all enthusiasts ready to take the time to explain cultivation conditions, plant combinations, and gardening techniques adapted to the Burgundian terroir. Demonstrations and gardening activities punctuate the day to enrich visitors' knowledge.

Joigny, a city of art and history as a setting

The fair benefits from the exceptional setting of Joigny, a city of art and history nestled on the banks of the Yonne. Its half-timbered houses, its Renaissance private mansions, and its Saint-Thibault collegiate church form an incomparable backdrop for this spring event. Visitors can thus combine their plant purchases with the discovery of this remarkable architectural heritage and the picturesque banks of the Yonne.

A family-friendly and convivial event

The Foire aux Plantes de Joigny is designed as a family event, accessible to all gardening levels, from the curious beginner to the experienced gardener. Local product tasting areas complement the plant offerings, making this day a true spring celebration in the heart of Jovinien. Shopkeepers and restaurateurs in the town center also participate in the festivities to welcome visitors in the best Burgundian tradition of conviviality.
