As we slowly restart our lessons, the garden is also starting to look a bit better after a terrible arid summer : these are the fruits of the Rosa Canina, with their bright red color. The very recent rain may enable the rest of the garden to revive from that summer! (text and photo by Yanis)
For my entire life, I have considered rosemary to be purely culinary. Looking at it as an entire bush, I have a renewed appreciation for this plant: it is beautiful. When not flowering, it looks sharp, proud and bold. When flowering, it’s like it sheds off its thick metaphorical shell to make room for its gentler and softer features. (text and photo by Alexis)
Among the dry grasses and shrubs of the Jardin pontanique, these small purple flowers caught my eye. Their delicate petals bring colour to a garden that may look untidy at first glance. Looking closely made me appreciate how much life and beauty can be found in unexpected places on campus. (text and photo by Yasmine)
A little sad seeing the full dried-up roses. It reminds me of the first time I got flowers; it was a huge bouquet of red roses, and I was so happy. I took the best care of them, changed the water, cut the stems at an angle, keeping them away from direct sunlight. But they were meant to die; they do not last forever. I was hanging onto them so much that I refused to throw them away. The roses in the garden reminded me of that moment, but then I got it. Maybe the flowers are dead now, but the rosebush might still be alive, and it gave me a little hope. (text and photo by Carolina)

With the end of summer come beautiful flowers. These Virginia asters are an invasive species, but they bring to our garden delicate shades of purple just as the cold winds begin to blow. They invite us to explore nature between two classes! Text and photo by Emilie.
