Please note: Our registration policy has changed. Registration is for one individual only. Each attendee must be registered separately.
WHERE: Please note that this tour will take place not in the Arboretum, but rather on the other (west) side of Prince of Wales Drive. We will begin at the big London Plane tree on the southwest edge of the Macoun Memorial Garden just off the NCC Driveway. You may park in the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum parking lot, located south of the Ornamental Gardens off Prince of Wales Drive. This is a pay-for-parking lot.
WHAT: Many trees have been planted on the Farm outside of the Arboretum. This tour will include trees planted near the Ornamental Gardens and the Main Lawn of the Farm. The tour leader will discuss examples of arboreal landscaping design and Farm-developed cultivars. After the tour, you can enjoy the gardens and other Farm attractions.
Tour leader: Roman Popadiouk
