Nine olfactory snapshots<\/h4>\r\n

Absolue, an extract used in perfumery, inspired these designers to create an olfactory journey in three parts\u2014river, garden, and stream\u2014that capture the scents of the sublime landscapes surrounding the Reford Gardens<\/a>. Every day, from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on UQAM\u2019s Place Pasteur, in the heart of Montr\u00e9al\u2019s Latin Quarter, these structures diffuse nine (9) fragrant blends, veritable memory capsules carefully designed to stimulate the imagination.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The installation is made up of three distinct islands, imagined by the vertical abstraction of the route of the waterways that correspond to them. The team of designers has reinterpreted the terrain around the Reford Gardens: the winding course of the Mitis River, the gentler curve of the shore of the St. Lawrence and the course of the stream that crosses the Reford Gardens.

About the Reford Gardens<\/h4>\r\n

A National Historic Site of Canada, and a Quebec heritage site, the Reford Gardens is a must-see stop for anyone visiting the Gaspe\u0301 and the Lower St. Lawrence. A cultural space and tourist destination for 60 years, the Reford Gardens are an iconic landscape that offers visitors soothing and innovative experiences of connection to nature. Located at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and Mitis rivers, they were designed by the adventurous horticulturist, Elsie Reford, from 1926 to 1958, and are listed as one of North America's most famed gardens and one of the world's top 150 great gardens. Since 1999, Hydro-Que\u0301bec has been the lead sponsor of the Reford Gardens.<\/p><\/article>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
