Quebec is still in the middle of winter, but the iconic Reford Gardens in Grand-Métis is already looking forward to warmer days ahead for the 2017 International Garden Festival this summer. In response to the all-too-familiar “nature-deficit disorder” in society these days, participants in this year's competition had to create inventive “Playsages” that would inspire, if not remind, today's tech-savvy kids and adults to spend more time outdoors.

Out of 162 proposals from 30 countries, six lucky designers had the winning schemes that will be exhibited during the 2017 International Garden Festival starting June 23.

Here's a first look at the winning installations below.

LA CHRYSALIDE by landscape architects Gabriel Lacombe & Virginie Roy-Mazoyer, Vancouver (British Colombia) & Montreal (Quebec) Canada
