Mosaiculture has its origins in the flower bedding practices of the middle ages and latter 19th Century, with the term 'mosaiculture' first referred to officially in 1878 in the journal of the horticultural society of Lyon as a 'technique to remodel green gardens utilizing flowering herbs'. The concept spread internationally to Kew Gardens and beyond, with two and three-dimensional floral figures becoming popular. Representations of birds, animals, structures, and people, were introduced and the methodology progressed to the embedded floral engraving or inlay forms of mosaiculture today.
The first Mosaicluture Exhibition (MIM2000) in Montreal, Canada, celebrated the new millennium through the creation of a new international event that combines art, creativity and progress. Since then this triennial exposition has been held in Montreal in 2003 and Shanghai, China in 2006. The fourth international Mosaiculture exhibition will take place at the Hamamatsu Flower Park in Japan. |
