Blue Stick Garden Reborn as Forest at Les Jardins de Métis

The Blue Stick Garden, originally created by Claude Cormier for the International Garden Festival, has been transformed into the Blue Stick Forest at Les Jardins de Métis. This installation features 2,500 blue and orange sticks within a microforest composed of 1,800 trees, shrubs, and perennials, showcasing innovative planting methods to address climate change. It symbolizes a blend of art and environmental adaptation, with a focus on resilience and sustainability, accentuating the importance of preserving a fragile environment. The installation will be open to the public on June 21, 2025, in conjunction with the 26th edition of the International Garden Festival.
