The architecture (1920-1923)

The buildings, fashionable for their era, demonstrate a respectable eclecticism and convey a sense of nobility with their stonework exterior. But the design is clearly of British influence, reminiscent of the monumental style, popular in the early 20th century.

 

 

 

Carl-Camirand Municipal greenhouses

The outdoor gardens are open to the public from May to October. The greenhouses can be visited year-round, Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 4 pm. Of special interest is the extremely rare flowering plant, “La belle de nuit, epiphylhem oxypetalum”, added to the greenhouse collection in the 1950s, in the days of Senator Charles.

 

 

Unusual tree-trunk sculpture garden

Sherbrooke is proud to have a one-of-a-kind ephemeral garden containing monumental tree-trunk sculptures. The artists created 3 giant works of art, tree trunks that were left rooted in the ground but topped off after a wind storm.
