Jardin du Canada
Jardin du Canada is a large garden in Montreal featuring over 22,000 plant species spread across outdoor areas and 10 greenhouses. The space includes around 30 themed gardens, such as a Japanese garden from 1988, Chinese sections, an arboretum spanning nearly 40 hectares, and specialized zones for alpine plants, roses, and shade-loving species.
The garden was created in 1936 by Henry Teuscher and has been developing for over 80 years. Various sections were added later, including the Japanese garden in 1988 and the Indigenous peoples area in 2001, showing how the space has grown and evolved.
The garden honors Indigenous peoples through a dedicated area created in 2001 that showcases their plant knowledge and traditions. Visitors experience their relationship with nature in a space that reflects cultural respect and understanding.
The garden features wide paths for walking and several quiet areas for sitting or picnicking in good weather. Wheelchair accessibility is available, and during winter months the greenhouses remain open for indoor activities while cross-country skiing is possible on designated trails when snow is present.
The rose garden was specially created in 1976 for the Olympic Games and features over 7,000 rose varieties spanning both heritage and modern cultivars. Visitors can enjoy this spectacular display of blooming roses from mid-June through autumn.
