The Grounds
A pergola was built in 1987 in honour of James N. Allan, the Honourary Chairman of the Niagara Parks Commission. A stone path connects the pergola to the rose garden fountain. A gift shop and information centre were also added to the grounds.
Gardens, and so much more:
The School of Horticulture is situated on 99 acres of botanical gardens which were modelled after the Kew Gardens in London, England.
School of Horticulture attractions have included: an arboretum; an aviary complete with chickens, turkeys, pheasants and geese; dwarf conifers; greenhouses; the herb garden; a herbarium containing dried plant specimens; horse and carriage rides; an ornamental grass garden; a parterre garden (a garden to be viewed from a higher position); a perennial border; a rhododendron and azalea collection; a rock garden; a rose garden; a shade garden; vegetable gardens and a woodland garden. A Butterfly Conservatory became part of the landscape in 1996. At the front of the Butterfly Conservatory is a garden designed to attract butterflies.
