John says - WHY?
Suzan says - Oh because it's magnificent - one of the largest in the world ( 190 acres ) and it's right here in our home town???
Suzan says - I haven't been in a very very long time
John says - I've never been
Suzan says - Well come - I'll show you some images
The Montreal Botanical Garden (French: Jardin botanique de Montréal) is a large botanical garden in Montreal, Quebec, Canada comprising 75 hectares (190 acres) of thematic gardens and greenhouses. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2008 as it is considered to be one of the most important botanical gardens in the world due to the extent of its collections and facilities.[3][4] (SOURCE)

ReplyDeleteWhat an enchanted place to visit - please go, John, for those of us across the continent!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing! I had no idea this existed in Montreal!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are incredible!! Never seen anything like them. A definite must see.
ReplyDeleteWow!! I love that sheepdog one! I wonder what it was made of? You will need to post pictures of your trip!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That place is gorgeous and I love those sculptures. So amazing. I wanna go!
ReplyDeleteYou must post some pics if you go. How amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh wow Suzan, these are absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! I've never seen such enormous topiaries before, and they're so colorful! I think my favorite is the two horses running, but it's all lovely. That's quite an attraction to have in your own hometown. :)

I actually have been to the Montreal Botanical Garden...visited family in Montreal about 10 years ago. It was awesome then, too! We also went sight-seeing and shopped in the old downtown Montreal district...SO pretty! We even took a horse-drawn carriage ride! Thanks for sharing photos of the amazing artistry!!
