One of St. Albert's little gems. I make a point to go here when I visit the city.

Wendy Policicchio

The volunteers here have created this little gem of an attraction in the heart St. Albert. Tired or watching baseball walk over to the botanical garden you’ll find a lovely treat!

Stephanie Usher

The park is a gorgeous spot! Beautiful blooms and trees; very peaceful. The Red Willow trail that passes by the park is great for a long run or short walk with your dogs. Safety while out solo isn't much of a worry as there are lots of other friendly folks out using the trails.

I never knew this place existed. I was very impressed with the community garden, and just how beautiful the set up was.

Lis Marie

Such a beautiful place! I love that there is parking and the gardens are free to visit. It’s a surprisingly big garden and so many different flowers are spread out and there are benches around to relax - I definitely recommend it!

Mike Killick

A really beautiful hidden gem in st Albert. The Rose Garden is fantastic.

Chelsea McDougall

Gardens are beautiful. Volunteers are very friendly and help and the gift shop has some really cute and unique items

Morris Chirka

I love all the beautiful flowers, smells amazing. It's a great time to walk through anytime, with the family, your loved one, just amazing great for the eyes and nose.

Noorddin Farishta

Lots of variety of plants

Sarah A

It's a beautiful garden, can't wait to go back again when more flowers will be blooming. The only drawback is the mosquitos, just go there prepared for it with some repellent on.

Dave Marshall

Great place to go for a walk with there was more places like this

Joe Garreck

Nice place to walk and enjoy nature.

Shey Gal

So beautiful

Siao

Beyond disappointing experience getting married here. I cannot believe the treatment I received not only on my wedding day by volunteers at the park, but also after. They are very rude and do not give you clear instructions the day or any support the day of your event and will treat you rudely. If you are looking for a professional, friendly, and fair vendor, I would steer clear of this place.

Didi Hirose

Super pretty and clean, beautiful garden to take pictures in!

Rose Dhessi

Beautiful place . Lots of flowers. Enjoy and walk 1 hour there. Was a good experience. More over no fee . Thanks Volunteers ????????????

Darien Chaffart

Always love coming here in the summer. It's such a nice, calm, refreshing location... Perfect for a cheap date, since it's absolutely free! The grounds are painstakingly and beautifully maintained, and as the flowers start to bloom it turns into one of my favorite places in the city. Definitely recommend!

Melissa Diggens

Beautiful and Free!

Natalya Volyanyuk

Lovely garden

MIGUEL ANGEL JIMENEZ MAYORQUIN

The most beautiful place!!

Todd Junck

This is a beautiful botanical garden with free admission. Everything is taken care of by volunteers and there is a gift shop on site as well. All different kinds of plants, shrubs, and trees -- each clearly marked as to what variety it is. Easy to find location in St. Albert.

alfa b

Flowers are in bloom. Thanks to the volunteers who maintain this garden.

R A

Beautiful spot to enjoy a peaceful walk and snap some awesome photos

Anish Thomas

Really great place for those who love flowers and a calm nice environment

Kim Chaffart

This is my fiancé and I's favorite date spot to come on a Sunday afternoon. When it's warm enough, we probably come every two weeks just to walk around and take pictures. The flowers are constantly changing and growing, so it never gets boring. We stumbled upon it a few years ago when we wanted a date that didn't cost anything and this was the PERFECT place to come. Every part of these gardens is always well-maintained and the flowers are gorgeous! It's family friendly and there's beautiful paths to walk on. There are different sections through the garden that contain flowers or trees. It is so peaceful. We have recommended this botanical garden to many friends and family and they have all loved it! And an added bonus is that you can walk a bit further and stroll down tona path that leads along the river. I would highly recommend this to anyone! And if you enjoy taking photos, it's the perfect place! I'm so looking forward to the weather warming up again so I can start going back.

Nathan T. Salter

This is a hidden gem in St. Albert. We held our wedding ceremony here in August and it was absolutely beautiful. With the fountain in the centre, we didn't need to add any additional decorations. We were also able to hook up a rented sound system to their power outlet which allowed for nice clear sound. The staff at the rose gardens were friendly and accommodating - with the threat of rain on the morning of our wedding, they waited until it cleared to set up the chairs for our guests. We look forward to coming back to the gardens many times in the future.

Live Wesige

This place superb I went there to spend a quite time with my 9mos old son, the flowers, the trail will keep calling you to return, since my first visit last week I've already planned to go back with all my family and in laws

Top notch. A joy to visit. The volunteers and contributors do a first rate job of maintaining the park and making it interesting.

Went in late September & although the flowers were fading or already cut back it was still a nice walk. Looking forward to coming back in early summer to see everything in bloom.

Leeza T

I love walking through the flower gardens!

CKA GMM

Absolutely beautiful, and nice staff

Brenda Minty

I was absoutley amazed at these Gardens and spent 2 1/2 hrs there! Bathing in the beauty of the Gardens and it is located in a perfect area of St. Albert. I took over 100 photos and loolking forward to going again this year with friends! I just found this place Aug. 2020

George Niu

Beautiful plants and flowers, but I would only give this park a good review if the employees at the gift shop knew how to treat customers politely. The other day my 6-year-old son was touching one of the items and all of a sudden a staff member raised her volume (which scared us all!) to tell us to stop him because she thought he might break it. If he indeed broke anything by accident we would be glad to pay, but treating a child as a potential vandalizer is not okay.

Deberah Kearns

Beautiful, peaceful garden in St. Albert. I am fortunate to live across the road from it.

Treesukon “Nicky” Sattabongkod

Such a beautiful area. Plants and flowers are very well-maintained. Koodo to the volunteers and the city. Lilies hasn't all come out yet but lots of green space for great pictures. Would come back every summer.

Stuart Kehrig

Fantastic gem for walks and picnics. Free admission.

Emily Parizeau

Very pretty and interesting. Run by volunteers and they're very passionate about their park. Lovely ladies I met and great spot to bring a tea and go for a stroll.

Elizabeth Wilkie

We had a great visit to the gardens today. We spent almost 2 hours crunching our way through the fallen trees and did some book reading too.

Marie-Alice Mandich

I've been here so many times and the gardens are gorgeous, so many varieties of roses ????. The volunteered that take care of the garden are dedicated and passionate about their garden and their City. The university of Alberta botanic garden is absolutely worth it too!

Candid Canada

These people are inspiring me ...Great honour for them...Volunteers

Fon Sutthada

Nice and beautiful place.

Deb Johnstone

Amazing plants in this garden. It was a little busy and not much room to walk by safely, but the gardens are so well tended. My mom loved the visit. Could perhaps have a few more signs about safe distancing on path.

Nelly Beans

It has limited parking. Only holds up to maybe 30 cars. The room for rent is good for small groups of people. Not more than 40. Nice scenery.

Ramsey Zev

i just really love plants

Sammy 23

Very beautiful place to be. People can come here for picnic and short walks. Their garden is also very nice. You will feel positive and calm after visiting this place.

Shelley Raines

So pretty, love the walking paths

Emi A.

Lovely little park to visit with the family. Well maintained and very clean. Reminder, leave your pets at home, dogs are not allowed.

Gail Gravelines

A garden!!! A garden!! I have so missed gardens that are easy to access (as in no entry fee!) in the four decades I have lived in Edmonton. What a find. Even though it was fall, I felt uplifted in the beauty of this place. Kudos to St. Alberta and to the volunteers who have created this lovely oasis. I'll be back!

Kevin Crisp

A perfect place to visit for anyone who enjoys flowers and trees. Have been able to get some amazing pictures over the years.

Drew P

Gorgeous. Thanks to the volunteers.

Jenn Smith

Beautiful gardens to walk in and take pictures!!

Nick Maddox

Great little park, and free to enter. Beautiful walk, beautiful flowers, and a Pokémon Go gym to boot.

Hector L. Campos

We had a lovely, serene and peaceful visit, and learned a little more about the variety of plants and trees in our region. Very well kept and you can hold private functions there as well. Too bad about the front end staff in their little store, who basically ignored us because, well, she was reading something ... (?). We'll return once manners improve and ice cream becomes available ???????????? LCA

Aurora B

It's a beautiful place to go for a short walk. They did a great job creating a garden. Lots of variety of plants. They keep adding more stuff and best of all it's free.

Leo Richard

Lovely place! Different flowering plants for different times of the year.

Ellie Belle

Such a beautiful place

Bryan Tung

Great free place to soak in some nature! There's tons of flowers and greenery to see. There are spots for picnics and just relaxing.

It's nice going here since they actually have the names on display. The grounds are beautiful overall.

Ham and Cheese

This park really is quite a labor of love,

John Musicaca

Good place for a walk and stroll

Charmaine Norris

Beautiful and lots of variety. Probably best to attend between last spring and mid summer. Well attended to. Could use relabelling of plants. Bike trail behind gardens. Great for events and walks alone

Louise Harpin

Pretty. Also a great place to find amateur photographers with their even more amateur models.

MsMel L

Amazing! They do a great job making everything look perfect.

Dave Graham

Very beautiful place

Jamila Jabeen Khan

It was nice but I think we have been there too early. The flowers not blooming yet.

Steve Graham

Such a variety of plants and flowers and and they're all labeled so you don't leave wondering what was that

Kirk Dewhurst

May 29, 2021. We keep returning here because it is a wonderful experience to enjoy the flowers, trees and shrubs. I would recommend coming often to see the different stages of flowers, trees and shrubs. The gift shop was open and there is a nice selection of great gift items. This free botanical garden is amazing. I would recommend coming here for a relaxing stroll through several flower, shrub and tree areas. I knew this was here and have been wanting to visit for a while but I did not know how extensive the park was. It’s well lit and clean. It’s groomed and well taken care of by volunteers. Did I mention it is free. This is definitely a hidden gem in St Albert. Normally there are washroom facilities but this is times of COVID 19 so no washroom facilities available at this time. There are plenty of benches spaced throughout the gardens. Just a really place to visit and relax. We noticed lots of people getting professional photos done here, it’s that good. I believe there is a gift shop here and plants for sale.

Anna K

Great place for a walk….

Mario Ivanov

A great place to have a wedding reception!

Mike Muranetz

Beautiful place. Enjoy!

Bruce Bretzlaff

Pleasant park with a very nice garden. Free to the public.

Jaspreet Saini

Beautiful garden dedicated to the collection, cultivation and display of a wide range of plants labelled with different names. It is well maintained but feels like this time (in October) is not best suited to see flowers blooming, and trees with fruits. Never mind, we will visit again ????❤️

Gail Boyce

Tidy, family oriented, breathtakingly beautiful, quiet, peaceful. Can spend hours there. Have lunch in or outside if weather is nice. Love it!!!

afshin behroozi

Flowers!

Sarah Cards

It's a lovely place. Full of beautiful, different, and colourful flowers and trees. Free entry, a good amount of parking, and runs alongside a lovely river trail

Austin

All in all it's worth the trip. I enjoyed my time especially because it was free. If you do decide to take the trip to see the garden just remember that it is roughly a 10-12 minute walk!

Pamela Carr

Lots of plants, trees, and bushes for sale in the greenhouse. Nice if that is your thing.

Ruth Wilson

Relaxing.

Trina French

Love this place especially when the lilacs are in bloom

Its a beautiful, relaxing space.

beautiful

Lorie R

This FREE botanic garden is so worth the visit! The many volunteers that tend the gardens are truly amazing as they look after the grounds so meticulously. The pathways are good for people needing walking assistance with walkers or wheelchairs so they can also access all the beautiful flowers and views. Definitely a spot worth visiting in the summer months!

Gr8 place to spend time with family...

Best botanic park in the capital region. Vegetation far out performs that of the UofA Botanic Park.

Great place to just walk around and enjoy the flowers and beautiful gardens and it's free! Thanks to all of the volunteers that maintain it. We love to visit with our granddaughter.

Vickianne

It's laid out really nice and well maintained. There's seating areas throughout the garden.

Fusion Titanium

This is a just visit if you are in St Albert specially during a sunny beautiful day in mid summer. The roses are in full bloom and the scent of them will fascinate you. The path is long enough to allow you enjoy the many variety of flowers and admire the colors. Take a little break and sit on one of the park benches. You can even purchase some flowers to beautify your own garden. Well worth the visit.9

Alyssa N.

D Jorden

Great experience especially for Last enthusiast's.

Liz Marie

I was unaware of this beautiful location until I attended my grandson's wedding. Cannot believe all the upkeep and work is done by volunteers. The wedding was after a regular work party so had the opportunity to visit with many volunteers. Such nice people and a wonderful place for my grandson to begin his adventure as a married man.

Staff was beyond rude. Overcharged us , informed us we can not take pictured in the park because we were a wedding party originally . fair enough, but the way they told us was needlessly rude and loud. Not worth the money we did pay.

Nice place for a peaceful stroll, even for nongardners. Anyone who is interested in gardening will find it a good way to check out diferent varieties and get ideas for new plantings. Because it's free, you can go back often through out the growing season and get a feel for how various plants look at different stages.
