This year the garden trade fair, Les Journées des Collections du Jardin, is being held from 30 May to 1 June at Senlis, not far from Paris, in the grounds of the historic Royal Abbey of Chaalis. A maximum of 250 exhibitors are being offered the opportunity to present their products within this exclusive framework. The organisers have issued invitations to 140 head offices of French and European DIY retailers and buying organisations. Only registered trade visitors will have access to the fair. Last year 370 buyers made their way to Senlis. Les Journées des Collections du Bricolage, the complementary event for the DIY sector, will be held in the same form and at the same venue from 20 – 22 June. Last year's premiere attracted the attendance of 190 buyers.
