Jardin Universitaire Roger-Van den Hende

The only public garden of its kind in North America, the Roger-Van den Hende Garden showcases nearly 4,000 species and cultivars arranged by botanical family. The herbacetum, the beating heart of the garden, holds many secrets to be discovered by curious observers and budding botanists. No matter where you look-from the water garden to the broad pergola providing shade to 40-year-old rhododendrons-this vibrant site never ceases to amaze. Quebec's native flora along with North American, Asian and European plants will take you away in an enchanting landscape like no other. Set off from the garden is a demonstration and trial bed for annual plants of all shapes and colours.
