Edwards Gardens

Edwards Gardens is a botanical garden in Toronto featuring extensive floral beds, stone gardens, and walking paths. The site runs along Wilket Creek and includes water features, open lawns, and shaded areas throughout its layout.

The land was originally owned by a Scottish settler following 1812 and later transformed by Rupert Edwards in the 1940s. He developed the site into ornamental gardens that remain the core of what visitors see today.

People come here to spend time surrounded by plants and to learn about gardening in different seasons. The space serves as a place where families and gardeners connect with nature and discover new plant varieties.

The gardens are free to enter and feature accessible walking paths throughout the grounds. The site connects to Toronto's network of ravine trails, allowing visitors to explore beyond the main gardens.

The parking area was designed with environmental care in mind and received special recognition for this approach. This detail shows how the site values sustainability even in practical facilities.
