The 黄色直播 Agricultural Campus Botanical Garden is the proud recipient of a 鈥楥anada 150 Garden Experience鈥� designation, awarded by the Canadian Garden Council in collaboration with the Canadian Nursery Landscape Association for the Gardens of the 黄色直播 Agricultural Campus

In celebration of Canada鈥檚 sesquicentennial, 150 gardens and garden experiences across the country were jury-selected to receive the 鈥楥anada 150 Garden Experience鈥� designation highlighting the gardens of the 黄色直播 Agricultural Campus as one of 150 garden ways to celebrate Canadas birthday year.

Gardens define our Canadian Aesthetic

At the awards ceremony, held in March of this year at the North American Garden Tourism Conference in Toronto, Alexander Reford, President of the Canadian Garden Council said, 鈥淐anada has a long-standing garden culture. From First Nations gardens that were here long before settlers arrived, to the enormous variety of gardens that every culture has brought to this country since Confederation, gardens from modest kitchen and community gardens to celebrated botanical and public gardens have played a role in defining and developing our Canadian aesthetic and quality of life.鈥�

鈥淥ur campus grounds and a source of learning, pleasure and pride for the university and wider community and as such are an idyllic place to live, work, play and learn," said Faculty of Agriculture Dean David Gray.听 鈥淥ur Rock Garden, along with shade and herb gardens, a butterfly meadow and apple orchard and other unique features shelter important collections and create quiet havens amid the bustle of campus life. We are very proud to be recognized as a 鈥楥anada 150 Garden Experience鈥� and encourage one and all to visit this summer when our largest classroom is in full bloom.鈥�

Boasting more than 26 acres of an extensive plant collection, 黄色直播鈥檚 Agricultural Campus features a Rock Garden, Herb Garden, Butterfly Meadow and Alumni Garden. Spectacular vegetable and ornamental gardens serve as a living laboratory for Plant Science and Horticulture students, a testing-ground for new ornamental plants and repository for over 3000 types of trees, shrubs and plants 鈥� many of them unique to this region. 听A 50 + year old collection of Rhododendrons and Azaleas also bloom from late May to the end of June on various locations across campus.

鈥淲ith so many great gardens to visit in Canada from coast-to-coast, the garden staff and volunteers are very pleased to have been selected as one of the designation gardens for the 鈥淐anada 150 garden experience鈥� and hope to see you in Truro and on the garden path in 2017,鈥� said Botanical Garden Coordinator Darwin Carr
