About 'The Enchanted Garden'
Periods of 'The Enchanted Garden 2025'.
'The Enchanted Garden 2025' is divided in four periods with different artists or works of art, which changes the layout of the exhibition, the location of the artworks.
Périodes :
Spring at 'Au Moulin des Délices': from Samedi 26 April to Sunday 8 June 2025.
Festival de la lumière : vendredi 13 juin au dimanche 10 aout 2025 ;
Season of Colours: Friday 15 August to Sunday 28 September 2025.
Dreams: From Friday 3 October to Sunday 12 October 2025.
The working theme for 2025:
Transparency, colours, dreams
The sculptures merge and integrate with their environment. The openings in the artwork make the sculpture transparent, the environment visible.
The interaction of light and shadow, the leaves moving in the light of the sun create a dynamic, give the sculptures energy, expressiveness and life.
Colours create emotions, highlight details and add depth.
The sculptures make us dream about these emotions, the environment, our future. The dreams tell stories, integrate the sculptures into the environment
Reportage de TV-com 'Actua TV' de 30 juillet 2024 à propos 'Le Jardin Enchanté 2024'
'The Enchanted Garden' is an international art exhibition in a structured, natural sculpture garden in a landscape full of water, contrasts and surprises.
The Enchanted Garden, where is it located?
'The Enchanted Garden' is situated halfway between Brussels, Liège et Namur (40km),
near the ancient 'De Vlaamse Toontuinen' in Hoegaarden,
in the beautiful Hesbaye landscape around Jodoigne,
on the bicycle path connecting Leuven, Tienen and Namur (Ravel),
on the N29 (Tienen – Charleroi) connecting the E40 (Brussels – Liège) and the E411 (Brussels – Namur). Address: Rue du Tilleul 22, 1370 Saint-Jean-Geest (Jodoigne).
The Exhibition
It shows artworks in bronze, ceramics, composite, glass, metal, stone, ... coming from all over the world, from Benin to Singapore, from Iran to Wales and, of course, from Europe!
Art Sanctuary has invited poets from Wallonia, the Netherlands, France, and Flanders to create poems communicating with the sculptures in the exhibition.

So it will be an eclectic exhibition for the twelfth time.
At least half of the visitors come for the garden with its many facets,
such as ponds, brooks, meadows, woods, the 'Secret Garden', labyrinth, terraces, rose hedges
and the numerous benches to relax with a view on the countryside of Haspengouw.
There are no exotic plants, no 'cultivars', but a rich variety of indigenous, spontaneously grown wild plants (wild orchid in abundance).
It is not for nothing that it is called a structured, natural, water-rich landscape garden full of contrasts.
A visit to 'The Enchanted Garden' combined with the assets of Brabant's Haspengouw and Jodoigne
will certainly pleasantly surprise you.
The neighbours ask our visitors to use the large car park located 400 m from the exhibition, along the Ravel.
A short, pleasant walk in the shade of the trees will lead you to the exhibition
(parking address: Rue Saint-Marie 1, 1370 Saint-Jean-Geest).
During the summer months (July, August and September): To avoid queues on Sundays between 2pm and 6pm, we advise you to make a reservation
(the-enchanted-garden.info/booking).

Naturally, dogs are allowed!
The four legs guide the two arms along the paths,
the two arms collect,
the four legs smell and point to the bin,
the two arms deposit.
