Parks & Nature
Allan Gardens is one of the oldest parks in Toronto. Allan Gardens Conservatory is a major landmark and tourist attraction in downtown Toronto. A botanical gem in the heart of the city, Allan Gardens has a permanent collection of exotic plants and beautiful seasonal flower shows. The conservatory is a place to go all year round. I especially love it in the winter when it is cold outside. It has a collection of plants from around the world housed in a cast-iron & glass building dating to 1910.
