Once every three years, there is an international competition in
horticultural sculpture, called "mosaiculture," in a major city in
the world. This year it is Montreal. This is not topiary but rather
creating sculptures out of living plants. The greatest horticulturalists
in the world, from 20 different countries, submitted plans a year in
advance. Steel armatures were then created to support the works (some 40
feet high); they were then wrapped in steel mesh and filled with dirt and moss
and watering hoses. Then they ordered 3 million plants of different
shades of green and brown and tan, and these were grown in greenhouses all over
Quebec. In late May, these horticulturalists came to Montreal and planted
all of their plants in the forms at the Montreal Botanic Gardens, and they have
been standing for three months now. There were 50 major sculptures along
a path two miles long.
