English Stone Bridge

Welcome to the English Bridge at Jardin Scullion

The English Bridge is a remarkable architectural feature that stands proudly within the landscape of Jardin Scullion. Inspired by Brian Scullion during a visit to the UK in 2013, the project took shape with the collaboration of BPDL in Alma, officially completed in 2016. This impressive structure weighs 520 tons—equivalent to 87 African elephants—and was constructed in the style of an old English stone bridge.

The English Bridge serves as a pathway for visitors to explore the garden, creating a harmonious connection between nature and human craftsmanship. Its elegant design invites everyone to experience the rich landscapes that Jardin Scullion has to offer.

Dedicated to André Bouchard

The English Bridge is dedicated to Mr. André Bouchard, the esteemed founder of BPDL Alma. Known for his determination and generosity, Mr. Bouchard has made a significant impact on his community. His journey began with the founding of BPDL in 1976, which has become an economic pillar in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region.

Under his leadership, BPDL has grown to employ over 550 individuals, excelling in the design, production, transport, and installation of precast concrete parts. Mr. Bouchard’s commitment to community development and his vision for a better future serve as an inspiration to all.

We invite you to visit the English Bridge and honour the legacy of André Bouchard—a true embodiment of creativity, community, and dedication. Experience the blend of nature and craftsmanship that defines Jardin Scullion.
