context_section_description: The mosaiculture is a form of art which uses plants to accomplish drawings. The origin of mosaicultures traces back to the embroidery bed of 16th and 17th centuries. At the end of the 1860s, the term "mosaiculture" was used for the first time at the parc de la Tête d'Or in Lyon. In the beginning, gardeners created simple geometric forms but over the years, mosaiculture has become more complex and has come to include such three-dimensionsl shapes as butterflies, vases and birds. The Gardens have several such examples on display. Today, several cities practice this art which is a tool of flowers development and horticultural expression.
