The Toronto Botanical Gardens offer an array of 17 award-winning<br />

contemporary themed garden areas spanning nearly four acres. Designed<br />

to educate and inspire, the Toronto Botanical Garden reflects the compact<br />

scale of typical urban gardens in an effort to motivate visitors into translating<br />

ideas into their own gardens. Private tours can also be arranged, and include<br />

visits to Toronto’s other horticultural spots, Edwards Gardens, Allan Gardens<br />

and the Toronto Music Garden. Led by experts from master gardener groups,<br />

horticultural societies, and other gardening enthusiast groups, the tours add to<br />

the beauty of these locations. In 2011, tours to the Gardens of Casa Loma were<br />

also introduced, blending formal and elegant perennial borders with vibrant<br />

wildflowers, rhododendrons, iris, roses and seasonal displays.<br />

Casa Loma, Spanish for ‘house on the hill’, was built between 1911 and 1914<br />

for Canadian financier and industrialist, Sir Henry Pellatt and his family.<br />

Inspired by the elegance and splendor of European design, the castle boasts<br />

exquisitely decorated suites, secret passages, an 800-foot tunnel, towers,<br />

stables, and a beautiful five-acre garden estate. Wander through Peacock Alley,<br />

a reproduction of its namesake at Windsor Castle, or explore the Billiard Room<br />

where Pallett and the castle’s architect, E.J. Lennox recorded a long-running<br />

game of billiards. A Major General in Canada’s second oldest regiment, the<br />

Queen’s Own Rifles, Sir Henry Pellatt had a love of fine art and architecture,<br />

interests that are reflected throughout the castle.<br />
