Sculptured Garden 2018

One of the special events brought to our region last year, Canada's 150th anniversary, was a special sculpted garden planted in Gatineau, across the river from Ottawa.

It was so popular, that the city governments on both sides of the river decided to sponsor this masterpiece again. Unfortunately, there are no plans to bring it back again in 2019.

(Fortunately, this garden was untouched by our recent tornadoes.)





Terry and I headed over a few days ago.
















Entitled "MosaicCulture 2018, it consists of 125 plant sculptures depicting iconic Canadian images.










Believe it or not, these sculptures are made from plants and grasses planted on a frame... They are watered and trimmed daily.

It beautiful... and amazing!








So much work goes into creating these living sculptures.

Here and there we caught sight of gardeners trimming and weeding...








This garden is definitely a must-see...












But it will only be here for another few weeks!












No time to delay!
