Garden Festival at Jardins de Métis / Reford Gardens,
Grand-Métis, 2001
- Garden, Installation
This garden, designed for the International Garden Festival at Jardins de Métis/Reford Gardens, invited visitors to experience a diversity of rich and surprising spaces in a landscape full of discovery and magic. We imagined a garden by first thinking about creating a stimulating and interesting environment for children, but with the vision of applying these qualities in a garden design for all. Progressive discovery, kinetics and sensory experiences as well as the use of water are integrated into the garden to make it a rich space.
This includes a crossing through a field of giant plants, a path through mounds and large rocks, a valley illuminated by suspended mirror pieces, a stride over a river, a passage across a waterfall made of glass marbles, a labyrinth game and a rest area in a plant room. All plants and materials were chosen for their sensory qualities. Odours, shine, light and shade, water flow sounds are all there in this garden that can be experienced one step at a time.
Award: 2003 Montreal Institute of Design Prize
