Domaine de Rayol holds its Mediterranean Plants Festival Gondwana , (la Fête des Plantes Méditerranéennes) on 5 – 6 October 2024 to celebrate the pleasures of Mediterranean gardens – even in the grip of autumn!
Conceived by Gilles Clément, the Mediterranean Garden (50 acre) is an invitation to travel through Mediterranean landscapes across the world (South Africa, Australia, California, Chile, the Mediterranean Basin and the Canary Islands), as well as others with a drier or sub-tropical climate (Mexico, Asia, New Zealand and sub-tropical America.)
A garden without labels, but not without explanations. Since the landscapes are not plant collections, the plants have deliberately not been identified. It is possible to find out their names by consulting the Botanical Gallery at the Farm, or by asking the gardeners and program facilitators.
Situated at Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer, (83 Var, Provence) west of Cavalaire on the Mediterranean coast
