Nova Scotia Horticultural Society began the gardens in 1836 and the city of Halifax added more to make a total of 16 acres by 1874. Richard Power, who was the garden’s superintendent from 1872 to 1915, introduced the bandstand, the fountains, statues, and wrought iron gates. All are still in place. The garden is a nice size for a leisurely stroll and the plantings are beautiful.
The paths are surfaced with finely crushed stone making pushing around fairly easy.
Metered parking is available along the surrounding streets. Gardens
