Description
When a cold north wind is howling and the mid-winter temperature is too frigid, this downtown greenhouse is a welcome oasis of greenery and warmth. Alberta's largest indoor garden, the 2.5 acres under glass and above a shopping mall, are a showcase for some 20,000 local and tropical plants, fountains, waterfalls, reflecting pools stocked with carp, wooden bridges, and a small playground where harried parents can let their children loose. No admission charge at any time and access is from numerous points within TD Square.
