*** About Halifax Public Gardens: The Halifax Public Gardens, located in the heart of Halifax, Nova Scotia, is one of the finest surviving examples of a Victorian Garden in North America. Established in 1867, the same year Canada became a nation, these public gardens spread over 16 acres and are enclosed by a wrought iron fence with a collection of over 140 different species of trees, many of which are over a century old. The design reflects the Victorian era's love for elaborate and structured landscapes, complete with fountains, statues, and a bandstand, hosting regular concerts throughout the summer months. This cherished city landmark offers a peaceful retreat from urban life and a glimpse into the horticultural practices of the 19th century.
