Presentation of International Conference

Women & Gardens is an international conference open to all scientific disciplines and to all associations, institutions and professionals interested in its themes.

At the crossroads of human civilisation and nature, the garden is the symbolic core behind the presence of humanity in nature. It lays bare social choices, inequalities, conditions for survival, evolutions in the social sphere, ecological services for all forms of life, whether human or non-human. But it is also a space for art and rest, for poetic and metaphysical expression, and an essential resource for the household income and family life. It is near and specific, universal and cultural.

The Conference on Women & Gardens seeks to explore the gender dimension for these diverse perspectives because there are specific roles for women in every aspect of the garden. All forms of knowledge are welcome: academic and empirical, folklore and experimental, artistic and technical, etc.

Gathering images – Collection of experiences, open to all

Beyond the words to say it, your dreams or your memories of colors, flavors, childhood, your utopias or your achievements associated with women and gardens, are welcome.If you have photos, drawings, images, videos, films, etc. that demonstrate the diversity of places and roles of women in gardens, please contribute them for a montage during the conference: jardinsdefemmes@sciencesconf.org
