In August I visited the Kingsbrae Gardens
in St. Andrews, New Brunswick
with my daughter and granddaughter.
A 27-acre site,
a horticultural garden,
opened to visitors since 1998.
What I liked the most about Kingsbrae Garden,
are all the different gardens on site.
There's a Dutch windmill at the gardens.
Built in Holland, dismantled and erected
at Kingsbrae Gardens,
to honour John and Lucinda Flemer,
who generously donated the property for the gardens.
The windmill circulates the water from the lower to
the upper pond to prevent the ponds from stagnating.

plants and shrubs and
many pathways to stroll along.

There is a Monarch breeding station where
the public can observe their evolution from
larvae through pupae to a new butterfly.

ReplyDeleteWow ! what an amazing garden(s) and what great photos you took !
ReplyDeleteI love the rebuilt windmill from the Netherlands .. a little Dutch touch goes a long way.
That white garden is stunning .. the big bird billboard (try saying that a number of times quickly ? LOL) is a great quick fix educator as to what birds are there .. the goats are a hoot !
It is wonderful that they have so many different kinds of gardens to enjoy ..
Who would know this was there ! Beautiful !!
Those gardens are amazing! The windmill is such a lovely sight to see and the birds are much more plentiful than ours here on the Island. Goats are always fun! Thank you for sharing and enjoy your weekend, Thelma!
