Nature
1
Founded in 1931, the Montréal Botanical Gardens were created through the work of renowned botanist Brother Marie-Victorin, who initiated and directed the project, and landscape architect Henry Teuscher, who conceived the design. The beauty, diversity, and richness of its collections reflect the founders’ vision of an ideal botanical garden in its aesthetic, scientific, educational, and social functions. With some 22,000 plant species and cultivars, large exhibition greenhouses, thirty thematic gardens, and a vast arboretum, it is one of the most important botanical gardens in the world.
