The Montreal Botanical Garden is lined with trees and flowers from around the world. There is a perpetual festival of beauty. But we must not forget those few trees that were there before the creation of the garden in the early 30s.
this is the case of elm that can be admired from the main aisle near the entrance.
This rare specimen is more than a century and a plaque indicating that it is dedicated to Hubert Reeves, a friend of the outstanding botanical garden.
It is like a guardian and a witness places. Brother Marie-Victorin has surely known. It is part of a handful of elm trees of the garden that survived the famous Dutch elm disease. He is still with us ... for how long? Nobody knows ... It is worthwhile to dwell on them, stopping at her foot and take time to smell his presence. It will provide a free resource with the bonus of a sober and lasting joy.
