    Beautifully maintained historic gardens.

    We wandered around this lovely garden and stopped to smell the roses. What an experience. We also especially loved the Innovative Garden and Victorian Gardens. A peaceful place to spend a lovely morning.

    Second visit and still great

    I came here four years ago and enjoyed the gardens. This time we are late in the season but there are still wonderful flowers in bloom and lovely wooded paths to walk. The gift shop had some lovely glass hanging ball so fun!

    Beautiful gardens

    We volunteer at our cities Botanic Park so was interested in designs in this garden. We so enjoyed our 2 hr. walk through this Historic Garden. There were so many different pathways to take with amazing plants to admire. Perfect place to relax.

    There are times when smaller is better, and Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens is a perfect example of this. It's beautifully maintained and just the right size for a nice leisurely walk in the AM or PM--- not all day. There's a good variety to maintain...More
