Salon du Végétal

Salon du Végétal 2026: connecting plants to tomorrow's markets

The Salon du Végétal returns from September 15 to 17, 2026, at the Parc des Expositions d'Angers, the French capital of plants. This biennial edition will bring together over 260 exhibitors, 15% of whom are international, for three days dedicated to plant sourcing, sustainable transition, and sector development. The show positions itself as an accelerator of transition and performance for companies committed to a sustainable dynamic.

More than 7,500 professional visitors are expected: nurserymen, horticulturists, landscapers, garden centers, distributors, local authorities, architects, and specifiers. The program includes over 60 conferences, round tables, technical workshops, podcasts, and award ceremonies on themes such as climate adaptation, biodiversity, varietal innovation, urban greening, and plant marketing.

The 2026 edition integrates the Pro Végétal Connect day (now merged into the show) and offers guided thematic tours: plants & urban planning, climate adaptation, point of sale, innovation, and labels. The Conseil National des Villes et Villages Fleuris will hold its National Meetings there, with nearly 500 territorial decision-makers expected.
