Montreal Surreal Fairy Tale

A visit to the botanical garden seems to us like a leisurely walk and peaceful admiring of beautiful flower beds, an abundance of fragrant flowers, ponds and green glades. But the Montreal Garden is more than just a greenhouse. It looks like a fantastic open-air museum, with exhibits made of multicolored flowers and greenery. When you find yourself here, you get the impression that you have entered a fairy-tale world, and its huge bizarre creatures are about to come to life. This fantastic garden is located in Canada, namely in the city of Montreal, and is considered one of the largest and most impressive in the whole world. Its territory stretches freely over 75 hectares, splitting into several themed gardens at once. So, for example, there is a garden of thousands of roses, including even ancient varieties, a useful garden of medicinal plants, charming and such different Chinese and English gardens, a garden of rhododendrons, a curious garden of aquatic plants, a garden of dangerous poisonous plants and others. There are 30 of them in total, but apart from them, this place also boasts a dozen greenhouses. The grandiose collection of the Montreal garden totals over 20 thousand different species of fauna. Special attention should be paid to the local insectarium, which is home to more than 160 thousand different species of insects! This paradise oasis was founded in the 1930s in the midst of very difficult times for the country — the Great Depression. It was at this time that botanist Joseph Marie-Victorin came up with the wonderful idea of creating such a project, and the mayor of Montreal fully supported him. A lot of work was done to bring the idea to life, and 5 years later the garden opened its doors to the first visitors. Since then, they have been trying to preserve this wonderful place in the harsh climate of the province of Quebec, carefully caring for it. The attraction has become a favorite vacation spot not only for Canadians, but also for guests from all over the world, at any time of the year allowing them to enjoy the beauty of nature and giving peace. #flowerlover #garden
