Kingsbrae Horticultural Garden

Kingsbrae Horticultural Garden Review

Nearly 2,500 varieties of trees, shrubs, and plants cover the 27 acres of woodland trails and many theme gardens at the Kingsbrae Horticultural Garden and earned it a place among the "Top Five North American Gardens Worth Travelling For" in 2011. It is certainly one of Canada's most spectacular public gardens, including a garden specially designed for touch and smell, a rose garden, a bird and butterfly garden, and a gravel garden. A children's fantasy garden offers child-centered activities, and there are daily programs for kids under 12 (1:30 in July and August). Canada's first Wollemi pine, named Pericles, is a big attraction, as is the opportunity to participate in a ladybug release program every morning at 10:30. A Sculpture Garden features works by Don Pell and from the Beaverbrook collection, and Kingsbrae also has an art gallery and a café.
