Halifax Public Gardens
Halifax Public Gardens, Victorian garden in Halifax, Canada
The Halifax Public Gardens span 16 acres with formal pathways, three fountains, two stone bridges, three ponds, and numerous seasonal flower displays.
Established in 1874, these gardens emerged from combining the Nova Scotia Horticultural Society Garden of 1837 with an adjacent public park from 1866.
The central bandstand hosts free concerts every Sunday afternoon during summer months, bringing together residents and visitors for musical performances.
The gardens welcome visitors daily from 8 AM until thirty minutes before sunset, with wheelchair access and guided tours available from June through October.
Three classical statues representing Ceres, Flora, and Diana stand among six decorative urns, donated in 1887 by Chief Justice Sir William Young's estate.
