Located northeast of downtown Toronto on Lawrence Avenue East, the Toronto Botanical Garden consists of four acres featuring 17 beautiful themed gardens. The mission of the garden is to educate people about plants and the natural world. The garden was formerly known as the Toronto Civic Garden Center, but in 2003 it was designated as a botanical garden.

The Entry Garden, designed by Piet Oudolf of the Netherlands, is a meadow made up of ornamental grasses and perennials. The Woodland Walk is a garden of native perennials, shrubs, and trees that represent the prairie savannah ecosystem of the local region. The garden also offers several children’s programs such as March break camps and summer camps. If you are wondering what to do on a sunny day in Toronto, this is a beautiful place to visit.
