| Description | Toronto Botanical Garden is a volunteer-based, charitable organization whose purpose is to inspire passion, respect and understanding of gardening, horticulture, the natural landscape and a healthy environment. Opening Summer 2006: An array of contemporary gardens spanning nearly four acres are designed to educate and inspire the people of Toronto and its visitors. The gardens are open year-round and admission is free. TBG also offers a complete range of innovative indoor and outdoor learning experiences for all ages including programs, garden tours, nature day camps, field trips and an extensive horticultural library. The George and Kathy Dembroski Centre for Horticulture, renovated in 2005, features an energy-efficient sloping green roof and award winning ecologically conscious design. shop TBG offers an extensive collection of gardening books and botanically-inspired home accents. Two large event spaces flow into open-air courtyards that function as quiet outdoor rooms. These courtyards are designed as relaxing green spaces for weddings, special events and all types of private functions. The gentle sound of flowing water has been incorporated into these courtyards to provide a feeling of serenity, and gardens of fragrant shrubs, flowering vines and perennial plants encourage visitors to linger in the lush outdoor spaces. In addition there are a series of studios and conference rooms, some infused with natural light and grey cut stone, which are equally suited for smaller receptions, parties and business meetings Permits for pictures or wedding ceremonies in Edwards Gardens contact Toronto Parks and Recreation at 416-392-8188 | |||
