Devonian Gardens

Devonian Gardens is one of Calgary’s most interesting attractions. This botanical garden became a gift to the city from the Devonian Charitable Foundation, from the name of which it got its name. This luxurious garden is spread over three floors and offers visitors about 20,000 plant exhibits representing more than 130 different species. The Devonian Gardens are among the largest covered parks in the world.

The opening of the botanical garden took place in 1977, the project was designed by the famous Canadian architect and engineer J. Cook. About $9 million was spent to create this miracle. Devonian Gardens Park is located in the center of Calgary, on an area of about 2.5 acres, or 10,000 square meters.

Behind the glass walls, visitors will be immersed in the realm of Nature - a riot of colors, thick greenery. Here, streams murmur and fountains beat, flowers smell and are full of colors. There are benches for couples in love and a specially equipped playground for children. A separate room is designed for various activities. In addition to its main function, entertainment and acquaintance with the flora, the Devonian Gardens are also a hotbed of culture - exhibitions of local sculptors are held here. The entrance to the gardens is free.
