Description:
The First Nations Garden, created in 2001, presents Quebec plant species in “natural” settings. It also presents the eleven First Nations living in Quebec and the relationships they have always maintained with nature and especially with the plant world. A highly contemporary interpretation pavilion is located in the heart of the Garden. One of its outside walls has intentionally been left empty, so that it can be used to display a work of art by a Native artist. The Garden is now looking to fill this space on the building and to contribute to promoting Native artists and their work.
