DISCOVER THE ODD PLANTS OF THE MYSTERIOUS MRS Z…

AN ALL-NEW FAMILY OUTING AT THE JARDIN BOTANIQUE
Montréal, February 18, 2020 - 

Starting February 26, Espace pour la vie invites the public to a new fun and sensory adventure in the Main Exhibition Greenhouse of the Jardin botanique. The Odd Plants of Mrs Z leads visitors of all ages inside a slightly crazy universe, tinged with fantasy and strangeness. You will have the privilege of sneaking in the greenhouse-laboratory of Mrs Z, an enigmatic do-it-yourselfer and lover of odd plants, who is luckily temporarily away from the lab… What will you find behind the door?

You will discover an extraordinary world of plants. A place populated by strange plants—Giant, Animal, Succulent, Enigmatic... even Carnivorous ones! You’ll be invited to take up strange challenges and step inside the Invention Zone in the middle of the greenhouse-laboratory. You will observe specimens that specialize in catching prey... But will you be able to build a trap like Mrs Z? You will also discover Mrs Z’s workbench, her laboratory and her living wall.

 

The Mini-Zone

In the Mini-Zone, toddlers (4 to 6 years old) will discover carnivorous plants and their secrets thanks to the magic of puppets and play. Will they be able to spot these plants in the greenhouse-laboratory? Only a visit will tell! One thing is certain, when you leave the greenhouse-laboratory, you’ll see plants in a whole new light!
