Gardens and conservatories

Alluring and aromatic, tactile, textured and sometimes tasty, gardens offer the opportunity to connect with nature using all five senses.

Ontario’s outdoor gardens celebrate the flora and fauna of the changing seasons while indoor conservatories and botanical greenhouses showcase rare and splendid plants from around the world.

In addition, heritage gardens in Ontario are also culturally significant, representing a living legacy of by-gone eras or preserving natural Indigenous knowledge.
