Montreal Botanical Garden
Seventy-five hectares of themed gardens — including a serene Japanese garden and tranquil ponds.
The Montréal Botanical Garden is among the world’s most important, with some thirty themed gardens and ten greenhouses. The Japanese and Chinese gardens are masterclasses in calm, all raked gravel, koi ponds and blazing maples.
Autumn brings the spectacular Gardens of Light lantern festival; spring and summer overflow with blooms.
