Horticulture artistry never made as many waves as its doing now, from the Montreal Botanical Gardens. 50 splendorous works painstakingly crafted by artists from 25 coutries line a mile and half long walk across the Garden, an art known as mosaiculture, or the mounting of living artwork. Established in 1998 in Montreal, the exhibition is a non-profit venture, collecting it’s works from successive mosaiculture competitions over the last decade. It’s sad that the exhibition has a limited life. Do your research and plan to visit during the festival period, which for 2013, ends on Oct 6th. Also, visit the popular attractions in the city by following Montreal Itinerary 5 Days.
