Halifax Public Gardens
Halifax Public Gardens
Norma and I recently visited the Halifax Public Gardens, something we've done often, but never tire of seeing.
Per Parks Canada:
"The Halifax Public Gardens was designated a national historic site of Canada as a rare surviving example of a Victorian public garden.
The heritage value of this site resides in its continued use as a public park and in its illustration of Victorian “Gardenesque” landscape design and planting traditions."
Wandering through the garden you get to see these features, and admire not only the care taken in the display, but just the chance to be walking through such a park while in the middle of a city.
A great way to spend some time if you are in Halifax, and at any time of year, as the Gardens change with the seasons, making the spot an ever interesting destination.
