Since its inaugural edition at the turn of the millennium, the International Garden Festival at Reford Gardens has evolved into one of North America’s leading avenues for exploring new ideas in landscape design and architecture. Over the past 25 editions — including the 2024 festival, which is on until October 6 — the annual fair has announced its 2025 theme of “Borders,” with a call for proposals now open for the festival 26th edition.

Open to all landscape architects, architects, visual artists, and multidisciplinary teams from across Canada and around the world, the International Garden Festival offers an opportunity for multi-disciplinary explorations to shape the future of our shared landscapes.
