The Gardens at the Leaf opened to the public this summer, offering visitors an eye-popping palette of colourful plants and flowers.
The nearly 30-acre site in the southeast corner of Assiniboine Park features six areas — Indigenous Peoples Garden, Kitchen Garden, Sensory Garden, Performance Garden, Seasonal Garden and The Grove.
