Joan of Arc Garden, Urban park in Plains of Abraham, Quebec City, Canada
Joan of Arc Garden is an urban park on the Plains of Abraham with rectangular flowerbeds arranged in geometric patterns beneath tall elm trees. The space uses different plant species to create colored shapes and designs that change with the seasons.
The garden was designed in 1938 by Louis Perron as part of National Battlefields Park, which commemorates the battles between British and French forces. The design reflects the historic importance of this site as the location of significant military events.
The garden includes seasonal displays of annuals and perennials, featuring traditional mosaiculture techniques that create raised patterns with specific plant arrangements.
The garden is accessible year-round with paved paths for walking and benches positioned throughout for rest and observation. Visitors can explore the space at their own pace and observe how the plants change with the weather and seasons.
Groundskeepers cultivate tens of thousands of plants annually in greenhouses to maintain the garden's continuous floral displays throughout the year. This intensive care allows the space to show different flowering patterns and colors in every season.
