In Canada, the University of Alberta Botanic Garden is opening its gates to children and students for free this fall. While some programming such as field trips had to be cancelled due to COVID-19, the garden is looking to develop new programming that’s safe, fun, engaging and gets kids back outside. The 11-acre garden has 12 water features, about 665,000 kilogrammes of granite, fruit orchards and more than 25,000 trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals and wetland plants. The opening of the Aga Khan Garden two years ago resulted in twice as many visitors as normal during the first two months.
