Fleur de sel is a gardenthat began withan image of the first snowfall that announces the onset of winter. The fragile snow covering the ground provides a portrait that has the same horizontality and life as those of Québec painter Jean Paul Lemieux. Between the white quilt and the green bed, the tracks that are left (objects, footprints, fragrances and even sounds) are trapped and remain hidden for the entire winter until the snow melts. These temporary fossils, almost invisible to the eye, create a hidden garden. It is up to us to imagine what is underneath. Isn’t a secret garden a personal place?

We chose salt to simulate the image of the snowfall; it is an important material in our environment and an iconic Canadian substance. Large amounts of salt are used every year to melt the snow and ice the long during winters. Because it is inexpensive, tiny, fragile and so commonly used, we forget its importance. It is a material that is hidden and sometimes kept secret that is worth rediscovering. This garden offers a great opportunity to reconnect with it.

这个艺术作品展示了冬季的第一场雪的形象，脆弱的雪覆盖地面，宛如绿色床上的白色被子，，连同景象，味道，声音，足迹，一同隐藏在花园的最深处。

UrbanBs的设计师们选择用盐来模拟雪。盐是环境中的重要物质，也是加拿大的标志性物质。在每年化雪的时候，都会大量使用到盐。盐是廉价的，微小的，脆弱的，常见的，这使得我们忘记了他的重要性，其实盐是一个很值得重新发现的材料。这个花园就提供了一个很好的机会。
