Botanical Garden, Montreal, Quebec

We were not originally planning to visit the Botanical Gardens in Montreal on July 4, 2015. However, having finished exploring the nearby Biodome, we decided to look closer at the beautiful gardens nearby.



It was around 5:00 p.m. when we arrived, and the indoor garden exhibit would close at 6:00 p.m. We decided to go in anyway. I am thankful that I went because the next day, I came down with a severe flu, which turned into a significant illness (ulcerative colitis)


The indoor hothouse was full of exotic plants.


I took lots and lots of photos!













Eventually, we completed our tour of the indoor hothouse when it closed at 6:00 p.m. and headed for the outdoor portion of the gardens.

We walked past the beautiful Rose Gardens into the Japanese Garden area.



After resting at the Japanese Gardens, we explored some First People's gardens and walked toward other parts of the Botanical Gardens.


We found a beautifully designed sculpture of Broken Time.


While walking around, we ran into a friendly neighborhood fox. It was not scared of anyone and was not scared of people at all!


We saw many nearby birds starting to strafe the fox, probably to keep him away from nests.
