ART
“Mosaiculture” is a magical word referring to both the accomplished art of glass mosaic and the sophisticated origins of artistic horticulture. In fact, contemporary mosaiculture traces its roots back to the Renaissance, a glorious epoch of grand royal gardens. Today, it has evolved into an art of unprecedented forms.
Mosaiculture is the most spectacular of all the horticultural techniques. Now considered an art in its own right, it consists of is the successful blend of several disciplines: sculpture, whose principles apply to its structures; painting, reflected in its palette; and horticulture, expressed through its use of the ever-changing medium of living plants. Mosaiculture also echoes the spirit of our times through its application of eco-friendly methods and techniques.
SUMMER GARDENS
A mosaiculture garden is an enchanting space that can reflect and symbolize its host city’s culture or any other chosen theme. An educational tool for young people, it is also a resource for horticultural enthusiasts and a space to unwind for local residents in addition to being a powerful engine for tourism and economic development.
The design can incorporate existing mosaiculture works or entail the creation of original works. The layout can also be flexible enough to accommodate travelling mosaiculture exhibits.

WINTER GARDENS
Come winter, the highly aesthetic steel structures on which the plants are mounted can transform the summertime plants and blossoms into a winter “garden of light.” This turns the mosaiculture garden into a new seasonal attraction for the city and region.
Special lighting effects that transform the works into stunning light sculptures reminiscent of chiselled ice bring them to life, making them seem like characters straight out of a fairy tale.

SCULPTURAL WORKS
Created in response to specific criteria, mosaiculture sculptures align perfectly with a “green city” ethos; they also serve as eloquent testaments to cosmopolitan culture. Installed in a public square, head office plaza, atrium, park or at the entrance to a site, a work of mosaiculture lends the space an air of prestige while offering passers-by a visual treat.
A pioneering horticultural trend, mosaicultures can be two-dimensional, creating dazzling beds of delicate detail and striking geometric shapes, as well as three-dimensional, taking the form of spectacular sculptures.
Each work is designed in consideration of the opportunities and constraints of the site in question.
