"Dès fin mai, c'est la vie en rose dans les rues de la commune.... Chedigny s'enorgueillit de la beauté que lui confère toutes ces fleurs.
En 1998, la municipalité a voulu redonner à sa commune un joli cachet rural en lançant l'idée de planter un peu partout des rosiers. Les habitants enthousiastes ont suivi et se sont même approprié ce patrimoine végétal et architectural en prolongeant le jardin de rue par de superbes jardins privés.
C'est André Ève, rosiériste aujourd'hui à la retraite qui a conçu tout l'aménagement du bourg.
Cette initiative a été complétée par la suppression des trottoirs et, à leur place, la plantation de plantes vivaces en complément des rosiers.
Cet embellissement floral a valu à Chédigny d’entrer au collège des Parcs et Jardins de la région Centre en octobre 2012 au même titre que Chenonceaux."

"From the end of May, it is life in pink in the streets of the commune ... Chedigny prides itself on the beauty that confers all these flowers.
In 1998, the municipality wanted to give back to its commune a nice rural cachet by launching the idea of planting rose bushes everywhere. The enthusiastic inhabitants have followed and even appropriated this plant and architectural heritage by extending the street garden by superb private gardens.
André Ève, a retired rosierist who designed the entire development of the village.
This initiative was complemented by the removal of sidewalks and, in their place, the planting of perennials in addition to rose bushes.
This floral embellishment has earned Chédigny to enter the Collège des Parcs and Gardens of the Center region in October 2012 in the same way as Chenonceaux. "
