| Located
just above the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, this attraction was constructed by the
Niagara Parks Commission in 1945. The addition of a reception centre/display house
in 1980, complete with a retail store and improved washrooms, was added to the
original 11,000 sq. ft. conservatory. All
the spring and summer outdoor bedding plants for the parks system are produced
at this facility. A circular design with a stunning statue/fountain in the hub
features twenty varieties of floribunda roses in ring shaped beds. A
garden for the visually impaired was constructed in 1985 in co-operation with
the Canadian National Institute for The Blind. Several of the plants are labeled
in braille. Daily
9am - 10pm May 3-Labor Day. 9-6 until mid October and then 9-5 rest of the year.
