Om
Raske fakta: Rundt 500 000 besøkende passerer gjennom portene årlig, tiltrukket av 1 100 hektar med stier, våtmarker og fem distinkte hageområder. Cootes Paradise, den 600 hektar store sumpen midt i området, huser en hekkeplass for blåhegrer og tusenvis av trekkende vannfugler hver vår og høst.
Høydepunkter: Hver mai blomstrer syrenlunden med mer enn 250 sorter, mange fremavlet for over et århundre siden, og hele skrenten lukter som honning. Fra gangbroen ved Cootes Paradise i skumringen letter en koloni på over 200 blåhegrer i sakte film, hver fugls vinger spenner nesten to meter.
Insidertips
- Bring mosquito repellent for the Cootes Paradise boardwalk in summer, the marsh humidity is intense.
- Arrive at opening and do the Mediterranean Garden first, before tour groups filter in.
- The rose beds in Hendrie Park smell strongest around 10am, before the midday sun bakes the petals.
- Skip peak lilac weekend and come the following Tuesday, the bloom holds for a full two weeks.
