The University of Alberta Botanic Garden will debut a new addition to their garden when the season kicks off on 29 June. The 4.8-hectare Aga Khan Garden will be open for a public viewing after 18 months of building, and almost a decade of planning. The garden will host brand new features like granite and limestone terraces, a waterfall, fruit orchards around a large Calla pond and more the 25,000 trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals and wetland plants. Aga Khan Garden Director, Lee Foote, expects the botanic gardens to draw a major influx of visitors with the Aga Khan Garden, from a yearly average of 75,000 people to 160,000 once the garden is officially open and the plants have had a season to mature.
