Call for Proposals: International Garden Festival (Québec)
Date: 9/23/2025 - 10/27/2025
Type: Call for Papers / Submissions
Description:
The International Garden Festival is launching a call for proposals to select designers to create the new temporary gardens for the Festival’s 27th edition, which will open on June 20, 2026, on the site of Les Jardins de Métis | Reford Gardens.
2026 Theme – MAPPING SENSITIVITY
The International Garden Festival invites designers from all backgrounds to design a garden using a sensitive, fundamentally inclusive and relational approach. At once real and fantasized, this garden will take on its full meaning thanks to the users who frequent it, shaping it in turn.
This call for proposals is open to all landscape architects, architects, visual artists and multidisciplinary teams from Canada and abroad. The Festival encourages participants to form multidisciplinary teams. Applicants are limited to one proposal, either as individuals or as a team. Participants can be from a single city or country or cross international boundaries.
