It has been over a year, I wanted to see the Allan Garden Conservatory.
This month, I visited the conservatory with my daughter.
It is a park and a conservatory in Toronto. The park has a leash-free area for dogs. Then there is a plan area for kids. The garden has several trees. We saw some tents in the park (maybe they belonged to homeless people).
The greenhouses are open year-round for free.
There is a pond with turtles. We stood there to enjoy the water feature.
The fish pond with beautiful fish and a fountain statue of "Leda and the Swan". The Greek god Zeus transformed as a swan near the lovely Leda, queen of Sparta. The swan seduced Leda, according to the story
The greenhouses will take you out of the city to the dreamland of plants and flowers. There are tropical plants as well as cactuses.
We used to go there in the 60s!
ReplyDeleteRe: my froggies. They hibernate by digging down into the mud at the bottom of ponds for winter. They have a weird hormone of some sort, it works like antifreeze and keeps them in stasis!
I'm impressed. What a gorgeous place!
