Contempororary garden festivals provide a laboratory for landscape designers to experiment with materials, methods and design concepts that can be adapted to their larger urban works. 


Experimenting Landscapes focuses on the Metis International Garden Festival in Quebec, Canada, which has presented more than 150 temporary gardens at the cutting edge of garden design and environmental art. The book features a selection of 25 projects as well as essays and reflections from festival designers to explore how the garden can challenge our assumptions, provide new meanings, and change how we see even the most familiar things.
