It's really just a love story Wilderness
The human/nature co-creation project "It's Really Just a Love Story", in collaboration with the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (MNBAQ), can be found in the surroundings of the Edwin-Bélanger Bandstand.
A true living laboratory, the installation is designed by Angela Marsh and starts from the deliberate non-act of allowing the grass to grow so that wild plants and the various species they nourish can reinhabit the meadow space.
