Allan Gardens

We have less than a week to go before relocating to Montreal for the summer.  We won't be back this way until October!  I thought I should get one more post in to showcase Allan Gardens, a dominant feature of our neighbourhood.  The current conservatory/greenhouse dates to 1910.  It replaced an earlier one that was built in 1879 and burned to the ground just after the turn of the century.

I can't believe that in all my trips here and living here over two years I just now got around to visiting the gardens.  There is no excuse as it is free and open seven days a week year 'round.  It is a "must see" if you are ever in Toronto.

There are many more photos HERE.  We didn't even go into the succulent wing as it was too hot!  We'll save that for the cool months.


And the slide show:
