Wide paved paths curve by specialty gardens such as the alpine, herb, water, rose and shade gardens. Flower beds are filled with annuals and perennials suited to Alberta’s climate and some beds are devoted to single flower varieties like lilies, irises, and delphiniums.
Small gravel and stone paths tempt visitors to explore hidden corners of the garden and allow for a closer look at some of the flowers. Most of the plants have labels so you can identify what you’re looking at which is useful if you’re looking for gardening ideas.

You can stroll throughout the garden or sit on one of the many benches and just admire the beauty.
