A brochure featuring a Self-Guided Tour of the Ornamental Gardens is available on our website (hard copies available at our office). Our online boutique has publications about the Central Experimental Farm as well as greeting cards featuring photos taken in the Ornamental Gardens. Of particular interest is our book Blooms: An Illustrated History of the Ornamental Gardens at Ottawa’s Central Experimental Farm.
