The Sculpture Garden at Kingsbrae
Kingsbrae Garden is home to a growing collection of sculptures, exhibited around the national award-winning property, and now in the brand-new Sculpture Garden. The marriage of art and gardens is a natural one. Around the 27-acre Kingsbrae site are metal and glass creations by Don Pell, several works on loan from the Beaverbrook collection, and a variety of animal figures. Despite these, a Dutch windmill and collections of over 50,000 plants, there is always room for more.

The Art Gallery
The Kingsbrae Garden Art Gallery features work of local New Brunswick artists. Different media are used to portray the splendours of the natural or built environment.
The Gallery is located in the turn-of-the-century Edward Maxwell manor house, original to the estate that makes up the bulk of Kingsbrae Garden’s 27 acres. Two full walls of window give stunning views of the surrounding gardens, Ministers Island and Passamaquoddy Bay.
