“a 16-acre oasis in the heart of downtown Halifax”
The Halifax Public Gardens are a 16-acre oasis in the heart of downtown Halifax. Officially opened in 1867, The Halifax Public Gardens have retained much of their original Victorian character thanks to a series of talented superintendents, chief horticulturists, and gardeners. Through their efforts, the Public Gardens were designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1984. In true Victorian fashion, the Gardens boast ornate fountains, a bandstand, statues, urns and a magnificent wrought iron entrance. Also among their treasures are over 140 different species of trees, including unusual or rare species and some centenarians. Their serpentine, scroll and carpet beds guarantee a bounty of colour and fragrance throughout the season.
Reviews
One of the most beautiful free gardens I have ever visited. Located right in the heart of downtown, Halifax's Public Gardens offers a lovely reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the city life taking place just a street away. Offering just as stunning views on foggy Maritime days as sunny, this is a must see no matter what season or weather.
