Allan Gardens Toronto

Allan Gardens is a park and indoor botanical garden in Toronto. The park, one of the city's oldest, is bounded by Jarvis Street on the west, Sherbourne Street on the east, Carlton Street on the north and Gerrard Street East on the south.
In the centre of the park is a Victorian conservatory known as the Palm House, built in 1909 to replace the pavilion burned in 1902. Rare tropical plants from all over the globe are nurtured inside. The trees in the park represent the northern tip of the Carolinian forest with species such as black cherry, American beech, red oak, sugar maple and sassafras. Most are over one hundred years old. The park is home to the city's largest flock of pigeons, a roving peregrine falcon and a statue of Robert Burns. Admission is free.
