Due to the COVID 19 crisis, the Rendezvous in Gardens 2020 edition was postponed to 2021 and took finally place on Friday 4 (a day dedicated to schoolchildren), Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 June 2021. As in the two previous editions, it included the participation of 20 European countries, even if .
That edition was dedicated to the theme "The transmission of knowledge" .
Since the Renaissance, garden art treatises, plans, flowerbed models and engravings have been circulating throughout Europe and thus ensure the transmission of knowledge through writing or image, public and private archives being also involved in it. Knowledge related to gardens, horticulture and landscape is also transmitted through teaching in dedicated places but also through more unusual or modern means such as blogs or tutorials. We also learn by travelling (as Tour de France Companions do) or by listening to or watching the elders. The guide-lecturers, during guided tours of parks or gardens, also ensure the dissemination of such knowledge to a larger public.
Study days (National Heritage Institute in Paris, 5 February 2020 and 10 February 2021)
Addressed to all the organisers (national, regional and European), these events studied the multiple possibilities offered by the theme chosen for 2020. As the topic was reconducted for 2021, another study day was organized in 2021 to discuss additional aspects related to it.
