Gardens of Brockville
1000 Islands and Rideau Canal Garden Trail
Discover another era and the luxurious lifestyle of Senator George T. Fulford, who constructed Fulford Place, a 20,000-square-foot Edwardian mansion, between 1899 and 1901. The original grounds were designed by Frederick Olmsted of the Olmsted landscaping firm, which also designed Central Park in New York City. Restoration of the Fulford gardens was one of the Ontario Heritage Trust’s most exciting heritage garden conservancy projects that included the Italianate-style gardens, an elaborate triton fountain, statuary, stone walls and gates.
Nearby, enjoy a panoramic view of Courthouse Avenue down to the St. Lawrence River amidst spring tulips and seasonal flowerbeds.
A colourful backdrop to three spectacular churches, historic architecture, a bust of war hero Sir Isaac Brock, the Brockville War Memorial and Fulford Memorial Fountain with its ornately sculpted fish and turtles. Steps away is Canada’s First Railway Tunnel along with dining and shopping options.
