Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens

　　Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens is known as a "horticultural paradise." Situated in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia — the site of North America’s first European settlement — the 17-acre garden features themed sections including a rose garden, rock garden, Victorian garden, and Acadian heritage cottage and gardens. It is considered one of the best-designed parks in Canada.

　　The rose garden is arguably the most iconic part of the park, home to over 270 varieties of roses — the largest collection in the region. From ancient Damask roses to modern cultivars, it offers a dazzling array for rose enthusiasts. Strolling through seas of blooming flowers, one might wish to become a shy rose oneself — quietly blossoming, silently giving, and earning admiration from visitors.

　　For visitor convenience, the garden also houses a gift shop, café, and restaurant. The gift shop sells floral-themed books, elegant prints, and popular photo cards.
