Kingsbrae Garden, a 27 acre horticultural masterpiece, is nestled in the heart of St Andrews by-the-Sea, Canada's premier seaside resort community. Named one of Canada's Top Ten Public Gardens, the Garden was recently awarded the "Because Green Matters" National Stewardship award from Project EverGreen Canada, and designated a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. The Garden was declared Attractions Canada's National Winner for "Best Developed Outdoor Site in Canada" in 2001, after just 3 years of operation.

Kingsbrae Garden has been created on the grounds of several grand old estates, incorporating mature cedar hedges, flower beds and an old-growth Acadian forest. Follow walking paths through magnificent collections of over 50,000 flowers, shrubs and trees in many themed gardens, complemented by a genuine Dutch windmill, cedar maze, sculptures, alpacas, peacocks, ducks and more. Our site and buildings are handicap accessible.
