Allan Gardens Conservatory - Allan Gardens Conservatory information and pictures

Allan Gardens Park and Conservatory is a major landmark and tourist attraction in downtown
Toronto. It is a public botanical garden and features six greenhouses with permanent plant collection (sub-tropical garden, Palm House and cacti) and seasonal plants.

Allan Gardens were established in 1858 in the downtown core in Toronto. The Palm House was created in 1910 and is comparable to similar gardens in England and USA. Allan Gardens were named after George William Allan who was a politician and cultural leader. Allan Gardens cover over 16,000 sq ft (0.3 acres) and has the largest collection of pandanus (Madagascar tropical pine) in Toronto. Allan Garden’s permanent plant collection includes orchids, hibiscus, cacti, caladiums and various palm trees.

During the spring Allan Gardens seasonal plants bloom in all their glory. This is also one of the best times to visit the gardens.

THE place to go when you have the winter blues. No noise, no crowds, no spending... just peace, sunshine, and abundant life.

The Gardens is a wonderful spot for seasonal photography. The most beautiful, and cared for plants ever, and beautiful subjects for my hobby of photography.
