The gardens officially opened in 1867. The Victorian-style garden has since remained a popular attraction for locals and tourists alike.
As a way of documenting the past 150 years, historian Dr. Claire L. Halstead created “The Heart of Halifax Project” in order to gather stories and memories about the garden.
