I have had the chance to visit at different times of the year. There is always something in bloom. It is inspiring for my own garden. More

Gardens are very well maintained. Stepping through the gates is comparable to stepping back in time. The hustle and bustle of downtown Halifax cannot breach the walls of green.

Spend some time in the Public Gardens... they're beautiful! Lots of opportunities for pretty pics. More

Well kept, simple and yet charming. Worth a stroll on a nice sunny day. If you want to get some ice cream or coffee, there is a little shop in the pavilion that is quite nice. I recommend the GrapeNut ice cream, apparently is a Halifax delicacy. More
