One of the best botanical gardens, really world class. The Japanese and Chinese gardens are two of my favorite spots to visit and there is a shaded walk way through the woods that is just spectacular. If you chance to visit Montreal mid October, you can take in the Chinese lantern festival after dark, the back drop of night, the vivid colors of lanterns and mythical figures is something to behold. It is such a beautiful well maintained Garden with ever changing garden and flower themes, there is always something new mixed in with the standard and familiar. Do not be remiss and overlook the vast resources and splendor of the Jardin Botanique on your visit to Montreal.
