About WAR Flowers:
During the First World War, Canadian soldier George Stephen Cantlie plucked flowers from the fields and gardens of war-torn Europe and sent them home to his baby daughter Celia in Montréal.
One hundred years later, his touching ritual has provided the inspiration for this innovative multi-sensory exhibit.
WAR Flowers examines human nature in wartime through artistic representations that combine Cantlie’s letters and pressed flowers with original scents, crystal sculptures and portraits of 10 Canadians directly involved in the First World War.
The WAR Flowers exhibition is a production of Reford Gardens. This project has been made possible by the Government of Canada.
Special Hours
Please note the last admission will be at 3:30 pm on Saturday, February 13.
