A NEW AGE GARDEN DAN GLENN, FCSLA CANADENSIS AN UNCONVENTIONAL NAME FOR AN UNCONVENTIONAL GARDEN “… a new Latin term meaning ‘of Canada’ which is used in taxonomy to denote species which are indigenous to, or are strongly associated with Canada.” | «...un mot latin signifiant du Canada, que l’on utilise en taxonomie pour indiquer les espèces canadiennes ou fortement associées au Canada. » …WIKIPEDIA 34 LANDSCAPES PAYSAGES CANUCK GARDEN FR_ CANADENSIS Canadensis est le nom peu conventionnel d’un jardin botanique tout aussi extraordinaire, proposé pour la capitale du Canada sur les terrains de la Ferme expérimentale centrale. L’équipe créative de Canadensis, embauchée par la Société du jardin botanique d’Ottawa pour développer un plan d’aff aires, envisage un jardin du nouvel âge, allant au delà d’une collection d’aménagements d’art horticole joliment présentés, pour créer une attraction distinctive d’importance nationale. D’où le nom – la marque – Canadensis : un nom qui accroche tout en étant moderne et scientifi que. Le plan d’aff aires prend une approche entrepreneuriale qui mise sur la richesse culturelle de la région de la Capitale national et l’emplacement de la Ferme expérimentale centrale, à proximité du canal Rideau, un site du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO. Les planifi cateurs explorent le potentiel des expositions à thèmes provinciaux, territoriaux et autochtones ainsi que celui des jardins internationaux et du laboratoire d’étude du changement climatique. La devise de la Société du jardin botanique d’Ottawa est « Osez rêver » et le rêve comporte de nombreuses expériences telles que des expositions sur le changement climatique et des centres fascinants de découverte comme le Jardin « Canuck », le Silo, et la cave à découvert, qui sont brièvement décrits. www.ottawagarden.ca
SILO EN_ CANADENSIS IS THE UNCONVENTIONAL name for an equally unconventional botanical garden proposed for Canada’s capital at Ottawa’s Central Experimental Farm. Canadensis is the brainchild of a creative team commissioned by the Ottawa Botanical Garden Society: LA’s Dan Glenn and James Lennox, David Knight (Dunne Consulting), and Chris Brown (KPMG). Their task: to create a business plan providing a realistic and rigorous assessment of the potential for a botanic garden in Canada’s capital. The garden that the plan envisions is a new age garden that transcends the traditional roles and features of botanic gardens. It is designed not simply to be a collection of beautifully presented displays of horticultural art and science, but rather a signature attraction of national signifi cance and international caliber. Hence the name – the brand – Canadensis: one word that is catchy, modern and scientifi c. ROOT CELLAR A 100-YEAR-OLD IDEA The botanical garden idea, of course, is not at all a new one for Ottawa. A botanical garden and arboretum have been integral to the vision of The Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa since its inception in 1866 by Philadelphia landscape architects Miller and Yates, who also prepared the original campus plan for the University of Guelph. Over the past century, many have attempted to realize the dream, but none have succeeded up to now. The dream comes alive in a very diff erent way in the new business plan. The Canadensis vision, which is supported by extensive research into the operation of botanic gardens across North America, follows an entrepreneurial approach toward being self-supporting. As a major tourist attraction, Canadensis is forecast to attract more than 340,000 visitors annually. This Garden will become a “must see” attraction, with experiential exhibits engaging a wide range of audiences, not simply those interested in gardening. WHY OTTAWA? Ottawa can capitalize on many advantages. The Garden’s physical location in the Central Experimental Farm and its proximity to the Rideau Canal, a World UNESCO site, off er cultural richness and synergies to other attractions. Ottawa also has “smart city” technical strengths: this Garden will embrace technology as a vehicle for experiential programming complete with digital “avatars” and a digital garden design studio. UN JARDIN DU NOUVEL ÂGE The Ottawa Botanical Garden’s motto is, “Dare to Dream.” | La devise du jardin est « Osez rêver ». As a national capital, Ottawa can build a garden which includes provincial, territorial and aboriginal themed exhibits. And since the city interacts with a diverse range of countries and cultures, the way is paved to feature international gardens. Embassies could take advantage of a pavilion for their diplomatic event that extends out into the grounds – and possibly, a garden sponsored by their own country. Many of the embassies in Ott awa are situated on small parcels of land; these countries have no opportunity to express their country’s garden heritage. Canadensis supplies the potenti al to parti cipate in an expositi on of foreign gardens suitable for dignitary functi ons. THE WINTER CITY ADVANTAGE As one of the most northern world capitals, Ottawa is ideally suited to be a centre for climate change – the most signifi cant environmental challenge of our lifetime. No other botanic garden has made climate change a major focus of research or interpretation. The Canadensis proposal includes a climate change laboratory, led by climate change staff at The Garden, which will collect data from satellite stations around the world. This unique Garden program has broad scope to showcase Canadian research in an educational and entertaining manner. A micro-climate manipulation display, for example, might deal with topics such as adaptive species migration, and show us how to deal with climate changes on a personal level, including reducing the urban heat island eff ect and improving energy effi ciency through landscape design.
