SOA K IN THE ATMOSPHERE
Ask any of our guests why they love Jardin Blanc and you’ll likely receive 100 different reasons... This magical place has its roots in our quest to create an experience befitting of the most prestigious flower show in the world. Seductively hidden, Jardin Blanc is an oasis in which to dine and drink, daytime or evening.
Nestled in the grounds of one of the world’s most celebrated horticultural events, you’ll find the entrance to Jardin Blanc. Inside, discover the perfect atmosphere for dining, unwinding and celebrating the joys of spring.
“A truly special affair. There was a great atmosphere at our table and the staff were helpful and friendly in supporting our experience.” – Jardin Blanc Guest
IN THE DETA IL
The powerful connection between taste and colour is awakened when you visit Jardin Blanc. Our beautiful garden is quintessentially British and designed to create a springtime 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. 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 M&G 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 top quality ingredients in every dish – from breakfast to dinner, canapés to afternoon tea. Our menus are designed by Jardin Blanc’s Chef Director, Raymond Blanc OBE, and celebrate the beauty and excitement of British springtime produce – when ingredients are at their freshest, most nutrient-dense and flavoursome. Our mixologists are masters at creating fabulous cocktails, offered alongside an impressive selection of wine and Champagne.
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. You’ll discover 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.
