Toronto Botanical Garden

Toronto Botanical Garden, at Lawrence Avenue East and Leslie Street in Toronto, occupies nearly four acres on the northeast corner of Edwards Gardens as seventeen themed gardens devoted to urban horticulture, design, and education. Founded in 1958 as the Toronto Civic Garden Centre, it expanded into its present botanical garden role in 2003. Its landscapes blend ornamental and ecological design, from the Woodland Walk’s native plantings to Piet Oudolf’s naturalistic entrance garden, with green roofs and rainwater systems reflecting a strong commitment to sustainability. Supported largely by memberships, courses, fundraising, and donations, it also serves as a major educational and cultural center with children’s programs, adult courses, and Canada’s largest private horticultural library.
