The 2013 edition presents more than 50 creations from some 20 countries. The theme of the exposition, Land of Hope, aims to amaze visitors while raising their awareness of the importance of preserving the richness of life on Earth.
Mosaiculture is a horticultural art that involves creating and mounting living artworks made primarily from plants with colourful foliage. The ornamental art draws on numerous practices: on sculpture for its structure and volume, on painting for its palette, and on horticulture in its use of plants in a living, constantly changing environment.
