DESCRIPTION

Temporary garden presented in collaboration with Hydro-Québec for the Métis International Garden Festival. «le bon arbre au bon endroit» reminds us that planting the right tree in the right place makes good sense. Above, thousands of birds perched on dozens of cables surround the garden. On the ground, the project has evolved over a three-year period: 2008-wire reel garden, 2009-hammock garden, and 2010-giant picnic table garden.
