Visit https://whistlinggardens.ca/index.php/plan-your-visit/admission/ Essentially, it is a new botanical garden with a fresh outlook geared to all ages and catering to diverse interests. Not since the world-renowned Butchart Gardens near Victoria, BC established over a hundred years ago, has a private horticultural garden of this magnitude ever been constructed and opened to the public in Canada. These gardens have been under intense construction for the past 4 years and are solely funded by revenue generated by Whistling Gardens wholesale nursery and retail operation through custom propagation, growing and supplying select garden centre’s, nursery’s, landscapers throughout Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes with rare and unique plants. Daily admission rates apply to the botanical gardens, with annual memberships and guided group tours available. The gardens are accessible for special needs visitors. Musical fountain shows, garden and floral design workshops, wellness programming and arts in the gardens sessions and more....all await your next visit. Weddings and celebrations are always welcome! Open April thru October

If you joined us for this season’s Festival of Fountains for our joyful shared experience introducing uniquely fused Canadian artistry through fountains, music and lighting, manicured botanical gardens and of course the relaxing grooves compliments of Wind and Wire we will carry our fond memories with us.
We met so many kind guests, many travelling from across the pond including Ireland, Germany, Australia, UK, and more, where to our surprise, they knew of our gardens and event motivating them to made a special visit, WOW!!!
To our local, and neighbouring friends travelling from Norfolk, Brant, Ottawa, GTA, KW, Niagara and further, many of you celebrated Anniversaries, birthdays or planned a “just because I’m worth it” experience…aren’t we all 😊absolutely!
SO many community, horticulture, corporate, seniors and education groups joined us this season while Amy Rose offered an unforgettable tranquil wellness experience, thank you!
