MONTRÉAL, May 31, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - Espace pour la vie announces the return of the event The Arts Put on a Show at the Garden. Suspended for two summers due to the pandemic, the summer run of intimate concerts so beloved by the general public returns this year at 2 pm for the next six Sundays: June 26, July 3, August 7, August 14, August 21 and August 28, under the artistic direction of Monique Giroux. The 2022 program offers a rich variety of performers, mostly singer-songwriters, who will perform on the Jardin botanique's outdoor stage, beautifully nestled in the heart of nature. In a mix of musical styles and soundscapes, each artist will bring his or her intimate and personal touch. This is a Sunday rendezvous that many have dearly missed and will be delighted to find again in the enchanting environment of the Jardin botanique.
The public is invited to set aside an hour or two, before or after the intimate concerts, to discover the magnificent spectacle of the peonies, irises, lilies, roses and daylilies of the Jardin botanique—a nature walk that will gently put you in the mood or extend the pleasure and emotion of the show.
