Montreal Botanical Garden

Founded in 1931 through the efforts of Mayor Camillien Houde and botanist Brother Marie-Victorin, the Montreal Botanical Garden grew into one of the world’s most important botanical gardens and was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2008. Set in Maisonneuve Park, it spans 75 hectares of themed gardens and greenhouses while serving education, research, horticultural training, and conservation. Its notable features include Chinese, Japanese, and First Nations gardens, an arboretum, and specialized plant collections. The grounds also support major scientific institutions, including an insectarium and biodiversity collection, and remain a heavily used public landscape as well as a center of science and culture.
