自1992年以来，每年的4月到10月在法国北部卢瓦尔河畔的肖蒙城堡都要举办一次不同主题的国际花园节（Chaumont-sur-loire）。整个花园节展区占地面积约3ha，共有26个独立的展示场地。每个场地都由绿篱围合，面积约250㎡。这些花园都是临时性的，将在展览季结束后伴随着新的花园的建造而拆除。花园节的举办宗旨是展示未来花园设计的思想，探索行业新的发展方向。由于主办方对于先锋思想和实验性设计的鼓励，肖蒙花园节成为了设计师展示新创意、新技术、新材料的全景舞台。同时设计师对于艺术、生态、历史等问题的思考，也在很大程度上引领了风景园林设计行业的发展。

Since 1992, the Chateau de Chaumont-sur-loire has been offering an International Garden Festival with different theme every year from April through October. The Festival area is about 3ha, including 26 gardens, each of them is about 250 m2. All the gardens are temporary, and will be demolished when the festival season is over to prepare for new gardens construction of next year. The aim of Festival is showing the newest design ideas and exploring the new direction of future garden. Due to the host’s encouraging pioneer thinking and experimental designs, the Chaumont-Sur-Loire Garden Festival becomes a stage of new creativity, new technique and new materials. At the same time, the rethinking to art, ecology and history also leads the development of landscape architecture.

2011年举办的第20届花园节的主题是“未来的花园或快乐生物多样性的艺术”。多义景观受邀设计其中一个花园，这是肖蒙城堡花园节20年历史上第一次出现中国设计师的团队。我们的花园位于15号地块，花园的建造预算为1万欧元，约合10万元人民币。

The 2011 Garden Festival theme is “Gardens of the future or the art of happy biodiversity”. Atelier DYJG is invited to design one garden. It is the first time that Chinese team appears in the 20 years’ history of Chaumont Garden Festival. Our parcel is No. 15, and the construction budget is 10,000€, about 100,000RMB.

针对本届花园节的展览主题，我们期望，在未来，天空和大地之间的一切都应是花园。我们在花园中用蓝白两色的布条构筑了“蓝天”和“白云”，用砂石、作物和乡土花卉构筑了土地、田园与原野，三个红布包裹的盒子是我们生活的建筑，为我们提供小憩的场所；一方水池是我们的湖泽，反射着“天光”和“云影”；“蓝天白云”指向大地，“田野湖泽”伸向天空，天地之间，所有的一切，是生物的家园，也是人类的花园。这小小的“天地之间”，人们能感受到婆娑的光影，摇曳的布幔，叮咚的铃声和朦胧的诗意。

For the exhibition theme of this year, we envision everything between the sky and the ground will be garden in the future. We create the “sky and clouds” by use of blue and white cloth strips, and the “ground, farmland and field” by use of sands, crops and vernacular flowers. Three boxes wrapped with red cloth symbolize our houses in life and provide us resting place. A pond represents our lakes on the earth, mirroring the sky and clouds. Between the sky and the ground is the home of all creatures and gardens of human beings. In this small space, people can feel the sunshine, swaying cloths strips, jingle bells and misty poetic.
