The annual prize for the creation of the ephemeral garden is open to young landscape gardeners and horticulturalists. The laureates are chosen by the jury which awards a carte blanche to a young landscape gardener or a horticulturalist of its choice to create an original garden. In summertime the ephemeral garden becomes a special place for the audience of the Festival.
