City of Toronto - Gardens & Parks Tour

High Park - With over one million visitors annually, High Park is the jewel of Toronto’s Park system. The park contains an outstanding concentration of rare plant species, including woodland fern-leaf, cup plant, shrubby St. John’s Wort and the wild blue lupine. The oak savannahs in the park form one of the most famous and admires aspects of the side. These savannahs once covered much of the Ontario landscape.

Toronto Music Garden - The garden design interprets in nature Bach’s First Suite for Unaccompanied Cello, with each dance movement with the suite corresponding to a different section in the garden. The first moment of the suite imparts the feeling of a flowing river through which the visitor can stroll. Granite boulders from the southern edge of the Canadian Shield are placed to represent a stream bed with low-growing plants softening its banks.

Rosetta McClain Gardens - A favourite of floraphiles, the Rosetta McClain Gardens are a hidden treasure among the city’s parks. It’s hard not to be lured down the garden path where giant red canna lilies flank the route to elaborate rockery, ablaze with begonias, geraniums and cardoons.

Bluffers Park - A vertiginous drive downhill pays off with a sublime vista a white chalky cliffs and blue water. The end of the road holds a pristine swimming beach.

Guildwood Park - Feature a unique collection of architectural constructs in a waterfront garden setting on Lake Ontario.

Edwards Gardens - A former Estate Garden featuring perennials and roses on the uplands and wildflowers, rhododendrons and an extensive rockery in the valley.
