| | | Allan Gardens Conservatory
We spent the day at Allan Gardens Conservatory, it features six greenhouses comprising over 16,000 square feet of colourful seasonal plants which supplement the permanent plant collection. Of botanical importance since 1858 the conservatory boasts the "Palm House" (1910) modeled after similar structures in the United States and England. It really was a great day to be there as it has been warm, the gardens were filled with people. It really is easy to forget that you are in the middle of the city once you get inside. Here are some photos.
Doing a few poses
more to come
