The new theme garden at Parc Marie-Victorin in Kingsey Falls, Quebec, introduces amateur botanists to the captivating world of carnivorous plants. The innovative design of this project is the result of close collaboration between the park team and GSM Project. It features a greenhouse showcasing over 1,200 living specimens, an outdoor trail with giant trap-inspired installations, and an interactive quest that keeps young visitors on the hunt for essential clues!
Drawing on comic-book codes, Botanic Panic is a fantastic adventure that budding botanists discover at each stop of their journey.The story follows Victor Marie, a young botanist who discovers a rare carnivorous plant during his travels. He brings it back to Quebec for research, but the plant escapes the greenhouse! Now, Victor Marie needs help tracking down his botanical runaway.
As visitors of all ages search for hidden clues along the outdoor trail, they encounter playground-style structures that mimic the traps of carnivorous plants, offering a glimpse into the experience of a trapped insect. The quest’s ultimate goal is to decipher the plant’s message and unlock an interactive door to the pavilion. Inside, visitors face one final challenge—a fully immersive game—before deciding the plant’s fate.
