The Halifax Public Gardens were founded by the Nova Scotia Horticultural Society on this site in 1841. It did not consist of more than flower beds and vegetables for its first few decades. It was not until the City of Halifax directed land on the north side of the existing garden to be laid out with flower beds that the Public Gardens undertook a more formal structure. In 1867, the year that Canada was formed as a Dominion, the Public Gardens were opened by the Chief Justice of the province of Nova Scotia.

By Leeming & Leeming.
Grade ll listed.
Built in conjunction with, and in the same style as, the Market Arcade & Borough Market.
Joseph and John Leeming were brothers and local architects who gained a reputation for designing covered markets after becoming nationally known for winning a competition to design the new War Office & Admiralty Building in Whitehall.
Halifax Public Gardens are the result of the work and maintenance of numerous talented horticulturists. Among the different species of flowers and plants are fountains, statues, and wrought-iron fences that capture a Victorian feel. There’s plenty of color and aromas throughout the year that are sure to make the experience unforgettable.
