DESCRIPTION
Renewal of the planting concept for the Cité muséale's green spaces. In collaboration with the Jardin botanique de Montréal, this project is destined to become a showcase for the "Mon Jardin Espace pour la vie" program, promoting biodiversity in urban gardens. Grassed surfaces are thus converted into a varied plant palette on the various green surfaces, most of which are located along Avenue du Musée. The plant palette follows a gradient from a more horticultural palette to a cover of indigenous flora towards Mount Royal, all of which is conducive to pollinators such as monarch butterflies. The overall effect is a dialogue between the sculpture garden's body of work and the remarkable built environment.
