Toronto Botanical Garden is a lush oasis in the heart of the city, where the wonders of nature and beauty come together. The garden is home to a diverse collection of plants, linked to walking trails through Toronto’s ravine, and connected with an array of educational programs, tours, events, and immersive experiences. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, arts and culture lover, or simply looking for a fun day outdoors with the family, there’s something for everyone at the Garden.
Eco-exhibit: underSTORY
Inspired by the wooded and decomposing landscape that weaves through our city and the ravine system, visitors are invited to slow down and connect with nature. Unearth the essence of the garden through the lens of our shared underSTORY — where rescued, repurposed, and rehomed materials take on new life. At the heart of the tunnel, the botanist’s writing desk, complete with an antique typewriter, invites garden reflections and collective participation. Visitors are welcome to pause, write, and share their thoughts and stories on what the Essence of the Garden means to them.
