IN THE DETA IL
The powerful connection between taste and colour is awakened when you visit Jardin Blanc. Our beautiful garden is quintessentially British, with a touch of Frenchness and designed to create a sensory spectacle of trimmed topiary, verdant green foliage and majestic blooms, complemented with incredible works of art and installations by some of Britain’s most inspired artists.
9 6
Each piece of art has been chosen to connect to the landscape, an area of outstanding horticulture, designed by our long-standing partner, 25 Gold-medal and Veitch Memorial winning Andy McIndoe.

We have been hard at work to bring this year’s Jardin Blanc to life, and it simply would not be possible without the support from the RHS Chelsea Flower Show sponsored by The Newt in Somerset and our marvellous contributors. From artists, to talented growers, garden designers and speciality equipment suppliers – we are so lucky to work with the very best.

TA STE THE SEA SON
At Jardin Blanc we use the best seasonal ingredients in every dish from breakfast to dinner, canapés to afternoon tea. Our menus are curated by Jardin Blanc’s Culinary Director, Raymond Blanc OBE, and feature recipes from Raymond’s ITV series and cookery book “Simply Raymond”, celebrating the very best of British homegrown produce with seasonal springtime ingredients to bring you some of Raymond’s simple but most loved dishes. At the bar, Warner’s Gin distil live their celebrated London Dry gin and our mixologists are masters at creating the quintessential G&T and botanical cocktails – offered alongside an impressive selection of wine and Champagne.
SUSTA INA BILIT Y COMMITMENT
Jardin Blanc is a slice of paradise and we continually strive to improve our environmental credentials from minimising waste to single – use plastics and reusing our structure. As President of the Sustainable Restaurant Association, sustainability is close to Raymond Blanc’s heart and the Jardin Blanc team. We’re proud to work with some of the very best suppliers in the UK, taking their wonderful, quality ingredients and turning them into something special. Any produce not used is donated to City Harvest, a charity that redistributes surplus food to feed those most in need. Left over ingredients that we can’t reuse are reimagined by Full Circle Farm to create compost and fertiliser to grow next year’s crop of fruit and vegetables. After Jardin Blanc ends, our plants are reused or sold with profits going to Greenfingers, a national charity dedicated to supporting children who spend time in hospices by creating sensory gardens for them to enjoy.
INDULGENT MOMENTS & E XCLUSI V E E X PER I ENCES
Jardin Blanc is the perfect spot to spend a joyful afternoon dining in our garden rooms, before sipping cocktails and Champagne on the terrace, serenaded by live music from our house band. By evening, the garden is lit with twinkling lights and a DJ provides music by moonlight, as joviality fills the air. There are so many memorable moments for you to enjoy, from exclusive talks with world-class horticulturalists to a cookery demonstration by Raymond Blanc and his team.
We cannot wait for you to discover this enchanting place for yourself and experience Jardin Blanc’s rich palette of incredible taste, vibrant colour and unmissable artwork.
