The only difficulty we had with this place was finding a place to park! In the end we parked at the hotel and walked over. We were greeted by the staff and while in the great hall, the former owner popped in to say a quick hello. Later the butler who worked there for 39 years was able to answer questions. We enjoyed the house and the art, would love to see more of the house.

The magnificent 27-acre horticultural garden has much to offer, with over 50,000 perennials in many themed gardens, engaging animals, an annual National Sculpture Competition, ponds, streams, old-growth Acadian forest, activities for children and much more. Come and tour for yourself to see what has prompted this and numerous other awards Kingsbrae Garden. There is something for everyone!
We walked to the Kingsbrae Garden from the Algonquin Inn where we were staying, and it was only a 10 minute stroll. This attraction exceeded our expectations, and we enjoyed meandering through each and every garden, our favourites were the perennial garden (full of colour, and ideas for home!); the bird and butterfly garden - the monarchs were all over the place; a 'secret' garden - a wonderful area for reflection and contemplation; and the Sculpture Garden with gorgeous art works nested amongst the flowers and greenery. We had a delightful lunch at the Garden Cafe, a bright and cheerful dining area. I had Bacon, Chive and Cheese Quiche with Garden Salad and Garden Punch, and my husband had a Spinach Salad. The gift shop was full of curios, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the time spent at the garden was well worth the price of admission. If you are in St. Andrew's, try to make time for this lovely spot (and get there early in the morning before any bus tours arrive).
