The Signature Foundation has launched the 6th edition of the Garden Art Prize which rewards a park or garden having obtained the “Remarkable Garden” label. Its ambition is to encourage creativity and support talents in the field of exceptional gardens. Until March 1, 2025.
This prize is unprecedented due to the very nature of the initiatives highlighted and its now European scale. Echoing the applications from gardens labeled “Remarkable” located in Belgium, this prize is today structured around collaborative work within a European network. Gardens, whether public or private, are all the fruit of human passion, of constant attentive care, of heritage to be preserved and transmitted to tomorrow's generations.
It is this certainty and the strength of these sensitive experiences that push the Signature Foundation to act with commitment and enthusiasm in this ecosystem and to want to make it shine, because a garden, especially when it is remarkable, deserves to be shared. From this point of view, the Signature Foundation contributes to providing the means and tools so that these exceptional places can be seen by as many people as possible.
