English Garden
The winding paths and free-form beds of the English Garden are indicative of the English Landscape Style which sought to convey an idealized but approachable view of nature, as opposed to the regimented symmetry of the Formal Garden.

Two of the most notable statues in the English Garden, the Boy With The Boot and the Queen Victoria Monument were donated to the city to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.

The English Garden is now planted mainly with annual flowers but a program is underway to revitalize this historic garden to restore it and its original design intent.

Open from 6:00 am. - 10:00 pm daily.

Leo Mol Sculpture Garden
The Leo Mol Sculpture Garden was created to display a collection of sculptures which were donated to the City of Winnipeg by Leo Mol, a world reknowned sculptor and artist; a Winnipeg resident who immigrated to Canada in 1948.
The garden is a harmonious union of fine art in a natural setting.

The Leo Mol sculptures can be classified in distinct groups with busts of prominent people and religious leaders, wildlife and figures. As well as sculpture, ceramics, oil paintings and pastel drawings are on display in the main gallery. Also on the grounds is the artists’ former studio and a gift shop.

The Leo Mol Sculpture Garden represents the lifetime achievements of one artist. Unique to North America, the garden is a celebration of the work of Leo Mol. Tours of the Leo Mol garden can be arranged.

Open from 6:00 am. - 10:00 pm daily.

The Flats Garden are symmetrical, round beds that date back to the origins of Assiniboine Park. Recent photographic evidence shows these gardens in place as the children’s meadow was being seeded, about 1904. Over the years they have housed a variety of perennial and annual plants.

Abilities Garden
The Abilities Garden at the Assiniboine Park Conservatory is unique in the City of Winnipeg. Designed for visitors of all abilities, the garden promotes horticultural therapy. Within the abilities garden visitors will find sensory delights in the thyme mound, they will find tactile areas of vegetables and planter gardens. The garden is designed for those with limited as well as full mobility, with wheelchair level planters (soon to be installed) as well as ground gardens. The garden offers respite to all who visit – those who look to plants for their healing powers, or those who look to plants as a respite from the daily challenges we all face.

Other Gardens in the Park

The Herb Garden, located just south of the Conservatory, was created in 1997 in cooperation with the Herb Society of Manitoba and features a wide variety of culinary and medicinal herbs in a traditional circular layout. Herb Society volunteers maintain the garden.

The Garden of Life, a cooperative effort with the Manitoba Transplant Program, is also maintained by dedicated volunteers, and was created in 1998. This beautiful garden is located out in front of the Conservatory. The Garden of Life is filled with approximately 3000 flowers that depict the shape, colour or care of the vital organs used in human transplantation. The Garden is very special because it honours the many unsung heroes who gave the gift of life, hope and happiness through organ donation. It is a tribute to living related and unrelated donors, organ and tissue donors and their families.

All the gardens within the park are open to the public from dawn until dusk.
