关于

快速信息: 超过4,000种植物和品种遍布近两英亩陡峭的朝南山坡，排列成一片活的植物气候试验田。卡尔加里首位公园主管威廉·罗兰·里德在一个世纪前建造了这个植物园，以证明哪些植物能在这座城市严酷的冬季和短暂的夏季中存活。

亮点: 花园顶部，一处岩石观景台将整片向河流倾斜的山坡框入视野，而经过修复的1916年看守人小屋则为下方的景致奠定基调。春天将这片山坡变成数千株郁金香和番红花织成的锦毯，得益于温暖的朝南日照，这里的开花时间比市内任何地方都早数周。

Wear sturdy shoes, the gravel paths get steep and slick after rain or snow.
Stand on the upper terrace for the best overview of the whole garden and river valley.
Flowers peak in May and June, but September brings a second wave of late perennials and fall color.
Visit on a weekday morning to dodge the tour groups and have the benches to yourself.
