Edwards Gardens


Edwards Gardens is a botanical garden in Toronto, located on the southwest corner of Leslie Street and Lawrence Avenue East. The Toronto Botanical Garden, a private not-for-profit institution formerly known as the Civic Garden Centre, is also located there. In 1944, Rupert Edwards purchased the estate and created the garden, which is mostly in the style of the previous century. It features an astounding grass, garden-like vegetation, and views of a steep valley with a big rock garden, wildflowers, and rhododendrons.
