Description
To walk through the iron gates is to step back a century; Canada's first public gardens have that effect. Since 1867, visitors have enjoyed the flowers, trees, fountains, a pond and winding paths that will make life seem a little easier. Feed the ducks and count their babies or sit on a bench near the Victorian bandstand and listen to the music and marvel at the beauty of a huge Rhododendron in bloom. Bring lunch; you'll want to stick around.
