17 pictures to get you excited for this year's Gardens of Light festival

It’s nearly that time of year again when Montreal’s botanical gardens light up for the
magical Gardens of Light Festival.

Set to open on September 7, the lantern festival includes a lighted path through the Botanical Garden’s three cultural gardens, The Chinese, Japanese and First Nations Gardens, all looking at nature from a different perspective.

The installation is well underway for #GardensOfLight (starting Sept. 7) at the Montreal #JardinBotanique. Reserve your date and time of visit online today. https://t.co/9A0RJX2Oqq pic.twitter.com/Zu0Rqg93xI
