Montréal Botanical Garden

Covering 190 acres, the Montreal Botanical Garden boasts an incredibly diverse array of flora, making it one of the most important gardens in the world. The National Historic Site of Canada was founded during the Great Depression with the goal of saving endangered species and educating the public about botany. Today, the sprawling complex features a number of thematic gardens (Japanese, Alpine, Chinese and more) as well as a greenhouse with plants from all over the world.
