Last year, the city’s Jacques-Cartier Park hosted Canada’s biggest horticultural event as part of the national celebrations marking the country’s 150th birthday. MosaïCanada 150 drew on Mosaïculture, which is a spectacular technique that combines sculpture, painting and horticulture.
The outdoor exhibition was formed of a one kilometre route that featured massive, intricately-designed shrubberies and paintings across 35 different stunning arrangements. With over a million visitors, the attraction proved so popular it has now returned for a second year.
The new incarnation, which is open until 15 October, is called Mosaïculture Gatineau 2018 and features all the horticulture sculptures from last year. It also includes ten new exhibits, including a huge tree filled with endangered bird species from around the world.
