Toronto Botanical Garden

GUIDED TOURS

See and Do

Toronto Botanical Garden showcases a series of 12 contemporary themed gardens spanning nearly four acres. These unique green spaces are designed for Torontonians and visitors to enjoy and engage in the splendour of nature, while learning practical applications for their own gardens. The gardens reflect the scale of a typical urban setting, making it easy for visitors to translate the ideas presented into their own gardens. This tour will hightlight the new "edible features" in our gardens this year.

Adjacent to the Toronto Botanical Garden is Edwards Gardens, a former estate garden featuring perennials and roses on the uplands and wildflowers, rhododendrons and an extensive rockery in the valley. On the upper level of the valley there is also a lovely arboretum beside the children's Teaching Garden.
