The Garden Of The Provinces is downtown, set between Library And Archives Canada and Wellington Street on the north, and two churches on the south side: St. Peter's Lutheran Church and Christ Church Cathedral. All three places will be part of Doors Open this weekend, and I plan on visiting them. Spring blossoms were in the trees here during the festival, as were tulips. The Garden is a combination of terraces, sculptures, and flower beds.
Beautiful! I can almost smell the lovely fragrance!
ReplyDeleteThat first tree is truly stunning. It must be wonderful in person. And the fountain looks lively, too. Throw in a few thousand tulips and you've really got some beautiful sights.
ReplyDeletePhotos that indicate that the city where they are is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
That fountain is very attractive!
ReplyDeleteLooking at all the tulips and the blossoms, Ottawa must be about the most colourful city of Canada, I think.
ReplyDeleteThose purples in the first few photos are just stunning! You must be glad to have winter behind you.

ReplyDeleteSomebody had a great idea when they laid out beautifully curved walks and bordered them with flowers. both are shown off well this way.

ReplyDeleteSpectacular show.

Looks like a wonderful place to visit!
ReplyDeleteThose spring blossoms mixed around all those wonderful tulips are so magical.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping someone would have named that first pinkish tree but I don't see it. It looks a bit like a magnolia, but magnolias don't have flowering as dense as that. Whatever it is, it is a winner.
ReplyDelete@Cheryl: it is, yes. Though it was less pleasant weather yesterday when I stopped in this area!
ReplyDelete@Gemma: they are, yes.
@Norma: me too.
@Jack: I think the tree is either a cherry or crabapple tree.
Your sights and flowers for sure is a place tourist can enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThat they are.
