After nearly a decade of planning, the much-anticipated Aga Khan Garden is set to open at the University of Alberta Botanic Garden in Devon on 29 June. Construction on the 4.8-hectare garden began at the beginning of 2017. The garden features secluded forest paths, fruit orchards and more than 25,000 trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals and wetland plants. The Mughal-inspired garden was created using historic Islamic landscape architecture and will be the northernmost Islamic garden in the world. The feature is expected to more than double the number of annual visitors to the botanic garden.
