Neighboring the Peace River, this 30-acre waterfront oasis encompasses the diversity of five ecosystems including marshlands, wetlands, mangroves, uplands and tidal basin. Flowering trees and plants bloom throughout the year, and more than 15,000 sq. ft. of boardwalks and docks provide optimum viewing of the Garden’s vast sculptures. History of the Gardens - Roger and Linda Tetrault started with 27 acres of wetlands. They conceived the idea of botanical gardens with world-class sculptures and an art museum, while still preserving the natural environment.
