Thanks to the generosity and friendship of the Japanese, the Bonsai Garden harbours a collection of rare beauty.

In 1989, the Botanical Garden was offered a superb collection of thirty bonsai by the Nippon Bonsai Association Inc.

Carefully preserved and maintained for many generations, these miniature trees, varying in age from 25 to 350 years, bear the heart of the Japanese people and evoke the friendship that unites Canada and Japan.

From Spring to Fall, visitors may admire specimens of Japanese maples (MOMIJI), of the Maidenhair tree (ICHÔ), and many junipers (SHIMPAKU) and azaleas (SATSUKI).
