About St. Albert Botanic Park, Alberta, Canada

This five acre botanical garden grew from an idea conceived in 1990 by two St. Albert citizens and has grown into a jewel in the heart of St. Albert, AB.

Themed gardens provide the setting for displays and trials of roses, lilacs, daylilies, Asiatic lilies, peonies, and lilacs to name a few, as well as vegetables and annuals.

The Park is operated and maintained entirely by volunteers and two summer employees.
