After 40 years of avoiding my inner gardener, Covid was the spark that ignited my interest. And what a treat to visit the ARHG! So much inspiration and variety. ????

Wendy Kean

Beautiful and quiet oasis.

Oralee OByrne

Beautiful anytime of year!

Carl Comeau

Beautiful place to discover.

Riccardo Andreoli

(Translated) The rose garden alone is worth the trip. (Original) Il giardino delle rose da solo vale il viaggio.

Meranda MacAulay

Lovely little walk but not as many different flowers and things as I thought there would be.

Pat Clancy

This garden is beyond words. The layout is easy to follow and the walk is really easy. You set your own pace and can easily get around in 45 minutes. We loved the innovation garden and the rose garden. We were a little late for the blosums but that is certainly NOT their fault. They are Very accommodating and the whole atmosphere is heart warming.

Nuahs C

Beautiful place to go. Nice variety of plants. Friendly staff.

Keith Doucet

Stop and smell the Roses. There are plenty of them there as well as a plethora of other olfactory delights.

Anne Kershaw

Gorgeous gardens, time well spent!

Lyman G Phillips

This is a lovely gardens. They have a wonderful heritage rose garden - if you're in to that. They also have an experimental garden area and demonstrated raised beds for those who can't bend, vertical gardens (built in a sort of lattice - fascinating) and even growing in hay bales. They also had heritage vegetables that looked amazing, Big juicy English cucumbers, little purple hot peppers that almost looked fake, and heritage tomatoes in all sorts of colors, and more. If you're in to gardens, then don't mis this place. If you have even a passing fancy, I think you''ll find something to really enjoy there.

Incredible gardens, well organized and very educational. Plants were diverse, well marked and well cared for. Love lives in this garden.

Dawn Leslie

Absolutely loved the Gardens, visited on a warm day in late August, enjoyed ourselves so much we scrapped plans for going anywhere else on our last vacation day. Spent hours leisurely roaming the paths, listening to birds and relaxing on benches amidst beautiful old trees. The Elm Cafe was a pleasant surprise, with excellent salads and baking done on the spot. On a practical note, washrooms are conveniently placed at the entrance & in the cafe about halfway through the grounds. This place is a treasure.

Wyllow Elizabeth

I LOVE the gardens - what an amazing experience.

J-F Bondon

Beautiful gardens the rose gardens alone are worth the detour but don't miss out the rest of the gardens... So pretty and quiet... Love it

Anton Sibiryakov

Very colorful place. You can spend between hour to 2 during your walking around so many different flowers and plants

Sigi David Bock-Thomas

Love love love this wonderful heaven. Very tranquil and well maintained. I've been down south to Bog Tower Gardens and many other Gardens in deep south, this little town can easily compete with them.????????????????????

Great walkways and many various plants, trees, and flowers. Very peaceful and delicious soup at the cafe.

(Original) Sehr gepflegte ruhige Anlage mit wunderschöner Fauna und historischen Gebäuden. Wir waren gute 2 Std unterwegs und haben es wirklich genossen.

Irshad Mulla

Random find for us but well worth the visit. The gardens are very well maintained and labelled so that you can identify a variety of species from all over the world. For all them plant hobbyists, recommend the detour to get to this place as it won't leave you disappointed.

Sacha Nadeau

Stunning garden, was surprised to learn the price after frequenting other free gardens but overall the fee was worth it!

Katherine Hanks

Beautiful time of year to visit the gardens!

Lena

Absolutely lovely. We went on a warm, October, day just before Hallowe'en and it was delightful.

Trent

I’ve never seen anything so filled with everything most of which us casual gardener has never seen. If you think this is a small horticultural spot like we did, big mistake. Was better than the parks Canada exhibit at fort anne.

Karen Hanneman

This is a magical place with lovely landscaping, colorful flowers, and creative gardens. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. What is more they had an electric scooter for my handicapped husband free of charge. Also, it was just the right size to enjoy without overwhelming. This garden was a lovely, enjoyable interlude in our travels. What is more, they gave out round cucumbers as we left.

Irish Hernandez

the roses are LOVELY!????❤️???????????? . . . COVID-19 note: Please wear face mask, sanitize hands, follow the arrows, social distancing.

Tina Boutilier

Very beautiful indeed.

Antony Prakash Thomas

Nice place to spend around.. it will be great in the beginning of July's.

Lovely gardens though we didn't see them at their best in the rain. Not recommended in those conditions as there's little shelter!

Firyal Ramzan

Beautiful gardens!! Under-rated, definitely worth a visit.

Grace Madeline

So beautiful!! I think everybody needs to see this

Beth Ashton

Needs animals, like a llama or donkey or chickens.

Megan Ross

Expensive admission but if you are in the area, it is a must-see.

Judy Jenkins

Visited on Oct.3rd/21 Lots of plants still blooming. Grounds are very well kept. Staff was friendly (although only seen/interacted with them on arrival and exiting) Bathrooms were very clean and both are family friendly. Plan on spending at least 2 to 3 hours here.

movie bod

A fantastic display of late summer flowers when we were there.

Robert Wolf

It is okay to visit in the fall but the summer months are better.

Stephen Logan

Very beautiful, we enjoyed going through very much.

Ursula McFly

This garden is absolutely beautiful from spring, summer and fall. Feels like your Alice in wonderland when walking through. Two thumbs way up!

Denis Boies

(Translated) Superb. Beautiful garden (Original) Superbe. Jardin magnifique

Marijke Wilhelmus Rob Landman

Well maintained garden with a dike wall. We especially enjoyed the large trees since Nova Scotia has many, many trees but not many very large. Also the lay-out of the victorian garden was exquisite with beautiful color combinations.

Nita Saulnier

Spectacular

Armand Arce

These gardens are so very nice. The layout of the garden by periods is really a nice change. The tour was very informative and the volunteer guide was very knowledgeable. This is well worth the cost and time if you like gardens and flowers.

Tammy Pickering

I was there really before it opened fir the season but it looks like a great place

Mitch Stewart

They really did a great job of setting up and maintaining this place. More then worth the trip.

Krista Duncan

Beautiful. Great day out. Nice cafe. Friendly staff.

John Hulswit

Beautiful. Helpful and knowledge staff.

Lyle Pitts

Was told we would have to park down the street & walk in the pouring rain even tho the parking lot was empty. We didn't!

joesy pid

Stunning gardens worth seeing all year long. The plant variety is varied and the garden is filled with a multitude of pathways that take you throughout this well planned and thought out garden. A must see.

Cathy Andreu

Absolutely gorgeous!

Anatoli

Beautiful and well kept garden. Worth the price

P Tailor

Its not worth the money and time

Ed Preisendanz

What a great place! Several acres of gardens including a 200 meter stretch along a creek with a variety of lilies and other flowers. Variety of types of plantings throughout. They have a good snack bar, too.

Brett Binns

Amazing flower gardens but I liked the historical and experimental vegetable gardens the best. We specifically visited for the Acadian cottage which was worthwhile but not something that takes much time to take in.

Shelby Tanner

Absolutely beautiful!

Cadi Mahbuba Ahmed

Awesome place to enjoy the nature

Anneke van den Hof

So lovely!

Kelli Saulnier

First time, family of four, was beautiful! Breath taking actually

Mark Latus

Enjoyable botanical garden to walk through even with Covid19 restrictions

Myles Cloutier

What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. It had been many years since the last time I was here and I am so glad I made it back. So many beautiful plants and interesting varieties. I'll have to add this into my yearly summer stops to make in the valley.

Michael Gabriel

Beautiful place to spend a morning or afternoon. Friendly staff of volunteers and all facilities available, including wheelchair.

Bindardondat

Great place to spend the day

Amos Navarre Hebb

Great gardens but look up the prices before you go to avoid a bit of a sticker shock

Ramsey Wright

World class gardens and beautiful sculptures from local artists. Includes exotic and local plants. The rose garden is stunning. Also includes an example of an historical home. They had a scavenger hunt the day we visited, which kept the kids busy. Worth a long visit.

Stanimir Cvetanov

It's a great place to walk, relax and enjoy a nice sunny day.

Halley Davies

Really enjoyed my time there. Lots of variety. If you like certain kinds of plants, plan your trip around the plants. This time around, roses were the highlight. I very much enjoyed it! Last fall, I got to take in all the lovely grass varieties. Bring a camera. So much to photograph! Washrooms are clean, and there’s lots of room to social distance :)

Nathan Gildart

A nice little place for a stroll.

Ginger Anderson

Fantastic place to visit. Wished we lived closer to see the spring flowers and roses. Very peaceful.

André Bruijnen

(Translated) Surprisingly beautiful garden with different themes. Worth the effort. (Original) Verrassend mooi tuin met verschillende thema's. De moeite waard.

Reese Sinha

Loved it. $10 dollar admission price. Wheelchair accessible and beautiful sights. Will go again when the leaves change colour. Short 2 hour drive from Halifax

Serena Blinn

Beautiful place

Rose M

I like to visit the gardens a few times a year. Late Spring, midsummer, late summer, and Autumn. Late spring brings all the lovely perfumes, midsummer is dedicated to roses, late summer is colour!, And early fall allows you to enjoy the trees in all their splendor. There is not a season to be missed. They even rent spaces in the winter. This garden is a dream, I visit several times a year

Troy Bell

Amazing peaceful place. The gardens were beautiful and pristine.

Angela Bourne

A magical garden space with great family friendly events and walking paths to reconnect with nature. It would be nice if responsible pet owners could bring their furry friends, but I understand why it isn't allowed.

Johnny Dulku

Lovely even during drizzle!

Michael Himmelman

What a surprise. Beautiful

phill Davis

Great place to walk and enjoy all the variety of flowers and plants

Balázs Barnabás Bärnkopf

Beautiful spot

Charles Kung

My good friend got married here. The garden is absolutely gorgeous and yet, not crowded. It is well maintained and simply serene. Aside from the typical garden setup (flowerbeds, ponds, various decorative installations) we saw an assortment of butterflies and even HUMMINGBIRDS (first time in my life!) Definitely worth the trip!!

James' White

Nice. But 15 dollars to get in is ridiculous.

Devon Olafson

Great garden!

Shelley Dyet

Love it here! Always something new to see. Most of the area is accessible. Lots of benches so you can sit and take it all in.

Marshall McDonald

Beautiful

Michele Hogg

A gardeners dream or a wonderful place to spend a few hours wondering through acres of beautifully manicured spring & summer gardens, trees of many varieties, an Acadian homestead & Governor's garden. A very relaxing & peaceful way to spend an afternoon

Helen MacLean

Beautiful investment by the citizens of Annapolis Royal.

Krista McDonald

An incredible spot! The gardens are meticulously maintained and a joy to walk through.

Nancy Sievert

I just can't say enough about the beauty of these gardens. Be sure to take time to see it all! Lovely little Cafe and gift shop as well.

Pardeep Kumar

Nice and good but not worth the money

Jalil Abouali

Just a special garden, with a beautiful backdrop. Amazing

Paul Rapsey

The Gardens are a piece of paradise year round but especially in the spring with a symphony of bloom, movement after movement. A wonderful place to walk, to sit and to experience calm.

Sarah Botham

Some of the best gardens I’ve seen. My gran would have lived this :)

Liat Shomrat

Amazing place

Rebecca Todd

I have been to Annapolis Royal many times and missed this gem. I am so happy I went this time and I would highly recommend going. Especially if you enjoy gardens or gardening The gardens are so beautiful! Some of the plants are over 100 years old. I was captivated just by the rose section! The variety of plants was incredible. I really enjoyed myself.

Krevmikimouse18

Cool but seriously over priced.

Riley Shields

the flowers are dead

Elke Love

Worth buying a season pass, the blooms change all the time.

Maria de los Angeles Orozco Avilés

(Translated) It is a historical place. In summer there are many gardens. (Original) Es un lugar historico. En verano hay muchos jardines.

Noëlla Grondin

(Translated) Not famous. Better to go see farther than the water's edge (Original) Pas fameux. Vaut mieux aller voir plus loin que le bord de l’eau

Alex C. Moreno

Beautiful gardens. They even have a garden of edibles.

Peter Fevens

Great place to relax and enjoy a beautiful garden. Parking also across the road if lot is full. The gift shop had many delightful treasures. Small fee to enter and is accessable.

Rebecca Ko

Very beautiful gardens.

Qasem (Dr. Q)

The garden was nice, but there was nothing special. It was like any other nice park with flowers and areas to walk around. It's a nice place to visit in that area to walk and relax, but it's not a must see nor special in any way. The waterfront was close by and other things to see in the area.

Theresa Johnson

So beautiful. What a lovely location.

Krasimira Downey

Amazing flower varieties and lily ponds. Real paradise!

lijo kunjappan

Very beautiful location

Ivan Romadanov

Wonderful place!

This is amazing place. Walking through, enjoying every moment of green paths. Every season is perfect!

Peter Miller

What a great spot for a stroll. If you are in town for a visit it is a must see.

Jason Edgar

Lovely walk through these gardens, that appear to be supported by an enthusiastic historical society.

Thorsten Münch

(Translated) Beautiful facility (Original) Wunderschöne Anlage

Kathryn Whitewood

Christmas at the gardens! It was lovely, bought lots of locally produced goods.

Micah Peters

Boy was this a treat! Better than any garden we've been to yet, with nice staff, a delicious cafe, and such wonderful variety of roses, fruits and veggies, local plants, and various collections of plant species such as rhododendrons, juniper, and day lilies. My wife and I will be back!

Eric Silver (Silver)

Really great spot, they go from 16th century gardens to modern day gardens you should definitely check it out.

Adam Roy

The staff desperately needed to work on their communication skills in both in the front office and in the cafe. The rose garden was devoid of roses, so that was a useless section of the exhibit. Overall, this quality of garden was quite decent and unexpected for this section of the province. One might only expect a garden like this on a larger population centre, but nope, here we are.

Pam Neiley

Beautiful

James Beeler

Nice place to visit, beautiful flowers and ponds

V ML

Beautiful gardens. Fun for all!

Domenico Lucinio

Nice 1-2 hrs activity.

Karen Lee

Not very much in bloom, or to see, in mid-August.

Konstantin Betman

Amazing!!! My photos tell better than me! Check it.

Colin Marr

Beautiful!!!

Ashlan Potts

We visited the gardens on a girls weekend trip and we were all blown away. The fee to get in ($10) was very well worth the experience. I would pay twice that, seeing how well maintained the property and gardens are. Each team member we ran into had something to teach or share and they were all so lovely. The gardens are absolutely breathtaking. I would drive the 90 mins from home to go again. I learned a lot about how certain vegetables grow (like artichokes and okra) and seeing an old thatched roof was pretty neat. Again, I can't get over how beautiful and pristine they are. Please go. You won't regret it.

Will Bollwerk

17 acres of gardens made for an incredible destination to observe the flora off many cultivated species. We highly enjoyed our stop and the ability to stretch our legs in the beautiful scenery.

D. Mark Laing

Fabulous!

Helvi Slytherin

I really wanted to eat one of their tomatoes... But I didn't!

Martin Villeneuve

Very nice attraction in Annapolis Royal!

Stephen Carr

Pleasurable way to spend an hour or two, plenty of interesting varieties of flowers, shrubs, and trees and views to enjoy.

CVP Studios

Very friendly staff to help you enjoy viewing such wonderful plants and trees. Some very neat historical objects around aswell.

Lorne Cooke

I took the opportunity to visit recently, and the perspective of seeing the gardens early in the spring time was both refreshing and a relaxing stroll. The whole site is worth a visit any time of year, not just during the peak of the season. Spring gives a fine perspective of the end of winter and the promise that spring gives.

Leo Costantino

A must visit place if you're in Annapolis Royal

The gardens were beautiful with a large variety.

One of the prettiest and most interesting gardens in Nova Scotia. There's always something to see. And the Victorian garden is a very cheerful delight at this time of year.

Great place to visit! The staff are always helpful. Beautiful spot for photography enthusiasts!

Erwin Greven

Really nice gardens worth the visit.

Carol Piper

Lots of blooms and beautiful tree's.

Mike Swaine

Beautiful at the right time of year.

Yukon Person

Beautifully maintained and a great way to spend an hour or two strolling the grounds. If you have time great yourself to a spiced strawberry rhubarb popsicle at the Elm Tree Cafe, you won’t be disappointed.

Jarah Allan

Beautiful gardens. Worth the walk through.

Karen M

Always worth a stop when in Annapolis Royal. Saturday market is there from late-Oct. to spring.

Carlo Weickert

Beautiful gardens

Ann Johnson

Beautiful walk, nice quite and relaxing. Lots to see and great little Cafe.

Kristina Pazdzior

Definitely worth going to if you have a green thumb or enjoy beautiful things.

keysto Hamilton

The gardens are literally one of a kind. Great gardens, perfect paths, and the acadian house make it not only a beautiful walkthru but a learning experience for all. The little store, although a tad on the pricey side is full of lovely trinkets and books on gardening and cooking... And a trip there wouldn't be worth it if you didn't get to tease Sandra at the gift shop before you leave! She'll make your visit!

Joanne Frost

What a treasure in our midst.

Danielle Comeau

Beautiful place, I enjoyed visiting here with my family this summer. I am not much of a garden lover but my mom and grandmother are and they loved it! I still enjoyed the walk and the cafe was nice too. I wouldn't say this was a "cheap" outing but definitely worth it if you enjoy these types of places. Everything was very well maintained and I liked hiw plants were usually labeled for people who don't know anything like me!

Trudy POWER

Beautiful gardens. Blue hydrangea just outstanding. Enjoyed reading names of local plants/shrubs.

Diana Webberley

This place is absolutely amazing so well-maintained the flowers are beautiful I recommend anybody to visit the area and take a walk around

Will Nickerson

Beautiful scenery. Well maintained garden. Multitude of plants and trees from all over the world. Worth a visit.

Heather Palmer

Lovely place to spend an afternoon! walking paths through beautiful varied gardens..so much to see!!

Phillip Davis

Great place to walk and enjoy all the flowers and different plants

Cheryl & Michael Robinson

We had a wonderful tour guide who showed us gardening trends dating back 400 years including the reconstructed Acadian house and gardens from 1671. We all thoroughly enjoyed this. It was well worth it as we discovered much more which we might have overlooked on our own.

Shelly-Rae Suddaby

Stunning

Kalen Veitch

Beautiful place, very well tended. The farmers market here in annapolis royal is a must. This is a very vibrant community full of history. And if you're not into history then it has plenty of gorgeous views to offer. After the gardens stop in and see a play or go to an art gallery. It's no wonder people are moving here from all over the world!

Tina Hiltz

I love the Gardens, no matter what time of year. If you are lucky, you can see deer and squirrels and turtles. There is always something growing, even if it is only herbs in the Acadian garden by the thatched-roof cottage. The garden never looks the same. I was pleasantly surprised this week to see that some of the rhododendrons were in full bloom. It has a beautiful gift shop and I am always pleased to take our visitors there and through the property. I attend several times throughout the year to enjoy the plants, occasional live music, the cafe, and to admire the giftware.

Joshua Allen

Lots of beautiful trees, flowers, and plants in a natural setting. Wonderful to see some late blooming roses at the end of October.

N S

Good place to see. Try local bistro.

Ken P

A beautiful place to take a stroll. Such a pretty place and so relaxing. If you don't see parking in front of the building there's plenty more across the street for free. Kids were free to get in and we got a military discount. 24 bucks for 2. Ensure to use the map they give so you don't miss a plant or tree. Excellent groomed paths to walk on. There's a cafe on site, though we didn't eat. Had to be a couple dozen artists around the premises, doing there thing. That was pretty cool too. It'll take an hr for sure. And if you like to walk slowly, it could take 2. On a hot sunny day bring some water, and an umbrella may not be a bad idea.

Robyn Warren

Best town in north america. Full of friendly people who want to share the happiness that being here makes you feel. Great places to stay. A theatre. Gardens great restaurants. Water front walkway. And a fine farmets market.

Tillie Cox

Best place I've been in a while!! A must to see!!

D Shaw (Funkydunk)

Beautiful roses friendly staff.

Manoj patel

Very beautiful garden

Love walking in the gardens. It's October and there are still lots of blooms in addition to the colourful leaves. A very peaceful place to visit any time of year.

Sandra Benner

In the Spring I'll be getting a season's pass. Love it! ????

Gillian Spencer

Beautiful!!

steve tober

Its been years since Ive been to the gardens. Even though it was rainging, I still loved the time and the walk. Wish the heat had been up so I could have literally "smelled the roses" well worth the $20 for a family of four.

Jewles Livingston

Beautiful. Must see.

Johnathan Glibbery

This place is so nice!!!

Andrew Brown

Loved it

peter himmelman

Interesting

smittyleafs

If you're in the area and like gardens or flowers, you really have to check it out. It's a gorgeous walk with a huge variety of plants, trees, ponds, and flowers. Plus we saw a fair number of birds and squirrels. Definitely worth a visit, and probably a few depending on what you want to see in bloom.

Zofia Hodgson

Even in the rain it was a lovely garden to wander around - worth a visit

Brandon Pitre

Girlfriend and I loved it! Must see for plant fanatics!

Karma Terrico

October at the Gardens

mel wiebe

Very nicely set up. For nice rose viewing go early in the season.

Barb Swift

Fourteen acres of Beauty.. just stunning.

Donald Darres

There is nothing spectacular about this place and the fee they charge is so out of line. Compare the Public Gardens in Halifax which is ten times better and admission is free. Authentic rip-off

Julia Carr

Cute little garden

Trevor & Zofia Hodgson

Although not a garden person , this was a pleasant stop on our journey .

valerie patterson

Beautiful.So peaceful

Galina Kheison

Very beautiful place. Highly recommended

Sponge Bob

This review is based upon a visit shortly before the pandemic, so take it as such. I am not a flowery kind of person and probably would have bypassed the Gardens if on my own. I enjoy trees, mountains and waterfalls quite a bit more. Im not anti flower, but not normally into them either. That's more my wife's thing. But in this case, one of our group is a landscaper and obviously has an interest in flowers. So we visited the gardens. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised how much I did enjoy the arrangements and variety of the beautiful plants though out the gardens. I can say that I do plan on bringing the wife to see the beauty when things calm down and we take another trip to Nova Scotia. Well done.

Antonio Feijoo Martinez

Nice garden, great view, pace an tranquility, start of the spring

Brenda Barkhouse

Very pretty

Glenn Balser
