Parc-Jean Drapeau's gardens are officially home to three green giants.
Composed of approximately a half million flowers and plants, these gigantic sculptures are nestled in their permanent home in the heart of Parc Jean-Drapeau’s Floralies Gardens in celebration of the Mosaïcultures internationales de Montréal’s 25th anniversary.
Mother Earth, the most buzz-worthy of them all, is a jaw-dropping 36-foot-tall green goddess rising from the water—a must-see for the whole family.
Bonus: the sculptures (nestled in one of the city’s best gardens) are free to visit!
Where is the Mother Earth sculpture in Montreal?

What are the three new sculptures at Parc Jean-Drapeau?
Don't miss Mother Earth (an 11-metre sculpture featuring cascading greenery and a flowing waterfall), The Man Who Planted Trees (crafted from over 100,000 plants and inspired by the Oscar-winning short, this sculpture depicts a shepherd transforming barren land, symbolizing the power of one person to change the environment) and The Six Pairs of YY (inspired by Parc Jean-Drapeau's logo, this creation is a nod to Expo 67).
