The Mosaïcultures Internationales® in the Parc des Éclusiers (Old Port of Montréal) is associated with the city's Parks, Gardens and Green Spaces Department. It promotes gardening and horticulture as both an expression of new millennium values and a vital component of the urban landscape. MIM has represented Montréal at Mosaïcultures Internationales® Shanghai (2006) and Hamamatsu (2009), winning both the Grand Prize and the People's Choice Award at both events. MIM will represent Montréal at the 9th China (Beijing) International Garden Expo in spring 2013.
