Mosaiculture is a most spectacular horticultural technique that combines the following different art forms sculpture for the structure paint for the palette of colours, and horticulture as the means of creating living and changing artworks with plants. The theme of the Gatineau exhibit will reflect 150 years of history, values, culture and arts in Canada, represented by some 40 different arrangements. Admission to the MosaïCanada 150/Gatineau 2017 exhibit in Jacques-Cartier Park will be free. The exhibit will be in the form of a route extending over almost one kilometre. Each visit will last approximately 90 minutes.

The park was easy to find after we did a little research and asked family and friends for advice . The parking was next to impossible at the on-site lot. A friendly attendant told us to forget it; that we should exit and drive straight north for a couple of blocks and we would find local residents renting spaces for less than the the rates on-site. His advice proved correct and we easily located a space at Etienne and Maissoneuve.
