Anyone walking around Charlottetown might notice something unusual around some of the city's most distinctive and historic trees.
Rooted in Art is a collaboration between local artists and the city's environment and sustainability department and features five temporary art installations at the sites.
It takes place until Oct. 17. It includes a 2.5-kilometre self-guided tour, with each installation accompanied by an interpretive panel with information about the tree, as well as the artist.
