Montreal Trip (highlights)

It’s Sunday and I realise that I haven’t really shared any photos from our trip to Montreal, which as you know kind of got overshadowed by other events. So, here I am looking to rectify that with a few of my favourite photos from the Chinese Garden at the Montreal Botanical Gardens. One of the main reasons for us choosing to go and play tourist at Montreal in the first place. Neither of us had ever been before.

First of all, these gardens alone need a day to go around let alone the rest of the botanical gardens. So I was glad we managed to get a whole morning there before I ended up in hospital. 

Chinese Tea House, Montreal Botanical Gardens

One of the most stunning parts about this garden are the buildings, done in traditional period style, and the formal gardens that surround them. All go to make up a harmonious mini village. From the lake to the pagoda to the bonsai tree garden, to the tea house and other pavilions. It was mesmerising, and tranquil.

I can definitely recommend visiting the gardens and making sure they spend at least 2 to 3 mornings, or afternoon visits in order to see it all. And don’t forget to ring the bell before you leave …

Until next time.
