Garden of the Provinces and Territories, National commemorative park in Ottawa, Canada
The Garden of the Provinces and Territories extends across 4 acres, featuring formal terraces displaying flags from each Canadian region in chronological order.
The site transformed from Nicholas Sparks' wilderness estate in 1826 to an official garden, inaugurated by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker in September 1962.
Bronze plaques throughout the garden present the floral emblems of each province and territory, representing the diversity of Canadian landscapes.
Visitors can access the garden through pedestrian and bicycle paths, including a tunnel beneath Wellington Street connecting to main government buildings.
The Tree Fountain, a 6-meter stainless steel water sculpture, flows through stepping stones into a pool, representing Canadian forests.
