| Invert d'H20 by Alexandre Perrusson, Nicolas de Brignac and Frédéric Sérano |
Ideas such as micro-gardens, green architecture or urban agriculture will be at the centre of this year's edition of Parisian outdoor exhibition
Jardins, Jardin. Nature within the city is now a social demand but what place can we make for it? How can we invest facades, roofs and public spaces? These are some of the questions brands and designers will be invited to answer, to invent the green cities of tomorrow.

Twenty gardens, patios and balconies will be created by landscape and garden designers, while the outdoor design Village will bring together outdoor specialists into a giant pop-up store.
Students and professionals will also present ground-breaking projects exploring ways to invent a new urban nature, as part of the annual Contest for Innovation. This year's winner is urban artist
Paule Kingleur, who created a container out of recycled materials, which can be fitted onto balconies, road barriers and public bikes, to grow vegetables and flowers.
