Laking Garden
Set on a fertile terraced plain that was once a market garden, Laking Garden is home to RBG’s herbaceous perennial collections. The belvedere at the end of the entrance path offers a panoramic view of the entire garden, especially spectacular in early to mid-June when our iris and peony collections shine. Take time to explore how early Ontario gardens mixed edible, medicinal and ornamental plants in the Heritage Garden.
A New Chapter for Laking Garden’s Signature Collections
Laking Garden is home to one of Canada’s most significant collections of perennial plants, including irises, peonies, and other cherished blooms.
In 2025, we’re beginning the thoughtful relocation of part of the renowned Iris and perennial collections from their longtime home in Laking Garden to an optimized new setting in Hendrie Park. These signature plants will flourish in an environment that promotes their long-term vitality, public enjoyment, and education.
Grounded in detailed research and careful planning, this transition is guided by our commitment to plant health, sustainability, and the visitor experience. Extensive preparation is underway to ensure a smooth and successful move, while elements of the Peony Collection are being considered for a future phase.
This marks the beginning of an exciting transformation for both the collections and the gardens themselves, with further updates to come as we shape the next chapter of this beloved garden space.
