The Montreal Botanical Garden
In close proximity to the Olympic Park and the Biodome, the Montreal Botanical Garden is one of the largest of its kind, home to over 22,000 plant species and roughly 30 exquisitely mapped out gardens, making it well worth a visit any time of year. Begun in 1931 in the midst of a financial crisis in the city, the Garden provided work for thousands of unemployed Montrealers and has since developed into a popular tourist attraction, with its astounding array of plants and trees, as well as the fascinating Insectarium.
No matter what the season, visitors to the Montréal Botanical Garden are sure to be captivated by the colors and fragrances from around the world as they wander from the delightful Chinese Garden to the heart of the Sonoran desert, from the peaceful oasis of the Japanese Garden to the classically designed French garden or the woodlands of the Laurentians.
With its collection of 22,000 plant species and cultivars, 10 exhibition greenhouses, some thirty thematic gardens, and teams of researchers and activities staff, the Montréal Botanical Garden ranks as one of the world's largest and most spectacular botanical gardens. When visiting, you’ll see and hear many interesting sights and sounds, including:
- The Tree House (highlighting the important role of trees in our lives)
- The First Nations Garden
- The Chinese Garden
- The Quebec Butterfly House
- The Medicinal Plant Garden
- And so much more..
The Montreal Botanical Garden is located at:
4101 Rue Sherbrooke East,
