A
Cloud Forest Conservatory
An unexpected sanctuary, the steamy Cloud Forest Conservatory is crowded with enormous jungle leaves, vines and palms. Information plaques answer the question ‘What Are Rainforests?’ for temperate Torontonians, distracting accountants from their spreadsheets for a few minutes. It’s a great place to warm up during winter, but avoid the area after dark – the adjacent park attracts some pretty lewd types. It’s between Richmond and Temperance Sts, west of Yonge St.

Toronto Music Garden
Delicately strung along the western harbourfront, the Toronto Music Garden was designed in collaboration with cellist Yo-Yo Ma. It expresses Bach’s Suite No 1 for Unaccompanied Cello through landscape, with an arc-shaped grove of conifers, a swirling path through a wildflower meadow and a grass-stepped amphitheater where free concerts are held. Contact the Harbourfront Centre box office for performance schedules and guided tour details.
