Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Aproximadamente 500.000 visitantes passam pelos portões cada ano, atraídos por 1.100 hectares de trilhas, zonas úmidas e cinco zonas distintas de jardinagem. Cootes Paradise, o pântano de 600 hectares no centro do terreno, abriga uma colônia de garzas azules e milhares de aves aquáticas migratorias cada primavera e outono.
Destaques: Cada maio, a enseada de lilas floresce com mais de 250 cultivares, muitos criados há mais de um século, e toda a encosta cheira a mel. Desde a passarela de Cootes Paradise ao crepúsculo, uma colônia de mais de 200 garzas azules se ergue em câmara lenta, com as asas de cada ave alcanzando quase dois metros de envergadura.

- 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.
