Escape from the hectic pace of everyday life with a visit to Annapolis Royal’s beautiful Historic Gardens!
In a beautiful setting overlooking a tidal river valley, the award-winning Historic Gardens is a premiere Nova Scotia attraction showcasing gardening methods, designs, and materials representing more than four hundred years of local history.
Some highlights:
- Our Rose Collection boasts hundreds of rose cultivars and thousands of fragrant and colourful blossoms.
- Our Innovative Garden showcases methods and plant materials suitable for today’s urban garden.
- Our reconstructed Acadian House is based on the pre-deportation 1671 time period, designed using evidence from local archaeological excavations.
