The Mosaiculture’s International Competition and exhibition features stunning works of living art, with the use of over 22,000 colorful plants. This yearly competition takes place in Montreal, Canada. It kicked off on June 22, and will end on September 29th. There are ten exhibition greenhouses featuring the incredible creations, as well as 30 themed garden viewing areas. People flock from all over the globe to either participate or to view the amazing sights.
Annuals are usually used as the artistic medium in mosaiculture. This style of artwork uses several mediums to create 2D and 3D drawings, designs and sculptures. This art form is unlike the typical topiary pruning, which involves shaping and working with shrubs.
