Visit to Allan Garden

It has been over a year, I wanted to see the Allan Garden Conservatory. 

This month, I visited the conservatory with my daughter. 

It is a park and a conservatory in Toronto. The park has a leash-free area for dogs. Then there is a plan area for kids. The garden has several trees. We saw some tents in the park (maybe they belonged to homeless people). 

The greenhouses are open year-round for free. 

There is a pond with turtles. We stood there to enjoy the water feature. 




The fish pond with beautiful fish and a fountain statue of "Leda and the Swan".  The Greek god Zeus transformed as a swan near the lovely Leda, queen of Sparta. The swan seduced Leda, according to the story


The greenhouses will take you out of the city to the dreamland of plants and flowers. There are tropical plants as well as cactuses. 





People were looking at the plants and drawing on their iPads. (artists, maybe?) Then there was an older woman sitting near the fish pond and relaxing. 





The entrance to this place is free.  I hope you enjoy the photos here. I really want to come back to this place.

I wish they were selling plants and flowers too. Don't you want to too?
