SEEKING LANDSCAPE DESIGNER / ARCHITECT FROM THE NETHERLANDS
16th Edition of the International Garden Festival | Hortillonnages Amiens – Carte Blanche to the Netherlands
With the support of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, this year’s festival will place special emphasis on Dutch landscape design and visual arts.
For the 16th edition of the International Garden Festival | Hortillonnages Amiens, we are seeking a Dutch national and/or a landscape designer/architect based in the Netherlands to design and create a garden in the Hortillonnages of Amiens.
Architects must collaborate with a person who has skills or experience in plant-related fields. Candidates may apply individually or as a group.
The International Garden Festival | Hortillonnages Amiens offers landscape creations and works of art accessible to the public, on foot or by boat, on islets of the Hortillonnages in Amiens and along the Somme river. Spread over this exceptional site, these creations pose a quirky or poetic view, sometimes funny or critical but always unexpected, a view on this complex environment, on its history, on its future and on the link between nature and culture.
