This former golf course was transformed into a series of more than 40 specialized garden areas. Paths meander in and out of the gardens that feature Canada's largest collection of rhododendrons. The hexagon-shaped Korean Pavilion is the highlight of the Asian Gardens, and a wishing fountain is the centerpiece of the Children's Garden.
During the fall months, the well thought out gardens are complemented by nature's own show, the changing color of the leaves. When it comes time to warm up, head to the cafe, Truffles Fine Foods, for their afternoon tea service. If you don't want to commit to so much food, they have plenty of a la carte items to choose from.
