MONTREAL, September 13, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ – Halloween is the time of year when the first frosts arrive, the leaves turn red, and the boundaries between worlds thin. The Sorcerer Kalbacius has taken the opportunity to cross those borders and create a refuge for himself and his fantastic creatures in the Main Greenhouse of the Botanic Garden!

Espace pour la vie invites all children (and their parents!), from October 1 to 31, to go out and give Kalbacius a hand. He has to return to his own world before midnight on October 31st! But he has a long way to go and he would be grateful for any help he can get!

The Sorcerer’s Haven

Main Greenhouse – Every day, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
guided activity between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
The main greenhouse is in ruins! The Sorcerer Kalbacius has transformed him, establishing a temporary home for him and his menagerie of unusual creatures. The vampire gargoyle tunnel brings chills and thrills, the orchard and its weird scarecrow made of plants promise to keep everyone at bay, and the web of cat-spiders will give you goosebumps! Not to mention our crazy pumpkins, the spectacular Ghost Tree, and Kalbacius himself!

the potions workshop

Greenhouse Entrance – Every day, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
To help Kalbacius, you’ll need to master the art of potion making! This plant wizardry workshop will give wizards-in-training the opportunity to test potions using plants that react in very unexpected ways!

How does the life of a pumpkin end? What happens when it rots? It’s also another chance to give Kalbacius a hand by collecting a lot of useful information!

Our young visitors, pen and paper in hand, can participate in the Hunt for magical creatures, searching the garden for creatures that have escaped the clutches of Kalbacius and are on the run. But first, the young scouts will have to brush up on their agility with the Magic Steps Circuit!
