    Wonderful place for a dinner at the historical building with The Keg and a walk though the beautiful gardens. Wall is fenced off as of summer 2023 but garden entrance on west end is open.

    Clean, well maintained, small garden with a few picnic tables and benches. Also has small trash bins which were completely empty when we went there in the evening. Despite being next to the road it was completely quiet. A quick getaway to help clear your head from city life.

    Should be 5 Stars! BUT!!! They have taken away the walkable/playable/picnicable green spaces that you see in the second photo. Now it's... Overgrown... 'Squeezed in' ... Lots of flowers for sure... But it's lost its 'secret hideaway' feel and is now a very colourful and vast row of bushes. Call the crew in and Change it Back!

    Wonderful Victorian walled garden expertly maintained by volunteers. A piece of serenity amidst the city's hustle & bustle.😇

    Beautiful gardens. Kept up by volunteers. Nice private place for a picnic or a coffee on a bench.

  • 5/5 Devaleena S. 1 year ago on Google • 25 reviews
    We love this garden despite the construction all around it, however missed the open green spaces between the beds that were here till last year? Not sure why that changed.

  • 5/5 Terri B. 7 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    Very quiet enclosed garden on Richmond Road at the beginning of Westboro. A few benches and a couple of picnic tables. Very well maintained. Good place to take seniors to check out the flowers because it is small enough. Quiet place to read a book or meditate. Open from sunrise to sunset. Spring to Fall, lots of parking.

  • 5/5 Cosmina P. 1 year ago on Google
    A place for the soul so try to enjoy the birds while embracing the beauty of all colours. Take a moment and send gratitude to the masters gardners that put in their time to create this small paradise

  • 5/5 Wendy W. 4 years ago on Google
    This place has exceptional atmosphere both inside and out. The quality of the food and service are very good. Westboro is an expensive area and The Keg offers value as well as an enjoyable dining experience

  • 5/5 Natalie A. 2 years ago on Google
    The prettiest public flower garden in Ottawa. It's a courtyard of flowers and if your craving escargot or steak. The Keg Manor is on the same property. Fabulous find!

  • 5/5 Peter M. 2 years ago on Google
    Just beautiful and accessible. We were there for a small, physically distanced pic nic. A hidden gem.

  • 3/5 Yun Y. 2 years ago on Google
    It is peaceful and beautiful garden in Westboro Ottawa. The entrance is small with a sign and easily be missed. Very nice with a lot of different plants and could be for a quick much with picnic tables.

  • 5/5 Miriam F. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a hidden treasure! It has nice benches and nice picnic tables too. Free to enter. Gorgeous flowers. Quiet pretty

  • 4/5 Brolga de O. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a beautiful public garden run by volunteers. Worth visiting in every season. There are benches to sit on. The stone wall around it has been crumbling for years. Will it ever be repaired? Now it's fenced around for safety, which detracts from its appearance, and plants in that area can't be taken care of.

  • 4/5 Bernard C. 3 years ago on Google
    A very nice small garden.

  • 5/5 Clement L. 5 years ago on Google
    Feels like a secret garden in the middle of the city. Must visit if you're a fan of formal English-style gardens.

  • 4/5 Sylvie B. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely hidden garden gem in the western part of the city of Ottawa. Great stroll after a delicious steak dinner at the Keg Manor.

  • 5/5 Graham D. 1 year ago on Google
    A smallish garden attatched to statey country house. An inspiration for home gardeners. I hope they rebuild the walls surrounding the garden soon.

👍👍 Best off-leash dog park in the area. Massive open space with some seating plus a huge amount of trails to explore. There is even a rainbow bridge to post your lost pup's tag which always brings tears to our eyes.
