The "Remarkable Garden" label in a nutshell
The "Remarkable Garden" label was created thanks to proposals from the Conseil National des Parcs et Jardins, a new institution within the French Ministry of Culture and Communication since May 2003.
The label is awarded to gardens whose design, plants and upkeep are of a remarkable standard, whether private or public, and whether or not they are protected as monuments or sites.
This national label is awarded for a period of 5 years on the recommendation of regional commissions set up under the aegis of the Directions régionales des affaires culturelles (D.R.A.C.).
Who is eligible for the "Remarkable Garden" label?

Who is eligible for the "Remarkable Garden" label?
