The pure white walls of
COURTESY OF NATURE reveal
the hidden artistic genius of
nature while SE MOUILLER
(LA BELLE ÉCHAPPÉE) invites
visitors to don a pair of
colourful rubber boots to
muck it up for themselves
among the floating aquatic
plants.
YCLOPS is gargantuan
cone 8 metres in
diameter suspended
over the forest floor.
The MAISON DE
JACQUES provides
a happy home to a forest of
beans where children can play
hide-and-seek in one of many
secret gardens. In TiiLT, 24
tents populate a space like a
school of fish or a flock of birds.
CARBONE offers a charred tree
trunk, capturing carbon during
its entire life and contributing
to the renaissance of the forest.
These new installations
create new experiences and
environments to add to those
of past editions. Visitors can
explore the environment and
experience the joy of moving
mature trees along a hidden rail
in I LIKE TO MOVE IT or admire
the movement created by the
wind from within the black and
The whistling white ribbons
in LE BON ARBRE AU BON
ENDROIT link a forest of hydro
poles to teach about planting
the right tree in the right place
and provide a welcome perch
to a resident flock of turkey
vultures who have adopted
them for their morning outing.
A sixth new garden, DRESS
UP!, will be on view as a
participatory event
