Kingsbrae Garden

New Brunswick


Extensive, multihued Kingsbrae Garden is considered one of the most beautiful horticultural displays in Canada. Check out the wollemi pine, one of the world's oldest and rarest trees, and the functioning Dutch windmill. In summer, try to time your visit for the daily 12:30pm alpaca walk on the lawn or the 2pm ladybug release in the rose garden.
