The Toronto Botanical Gardens, or Edwards Gardens, is open daily from dawn until dusk and admission is free (parking is free too). At the Western-most edge of the gardens, you’ll discover the teaching garden designed for young gardeners and a stage for many educational outings. The crops growing here are varied and gathered by topic (prehistoric plants grow around a metal stegosaurus) and have been mostly planted by students. The kids will love the bugs and butterflies the garden attracts. And the crops harvested here will go to a local food bank.
