Enjoy beauty year round
The Historic Gardens is a place of constant change. As the season progresses, there is always something new coming into bloom. From early season bulbs and magnolias to peonies, rhododendrons, roses, daylilies and the wonderful annuals of the Victorian Garden, there is a rich tapestry of blooms to enjoy. Your Historic Gardens Membership allows you to visit as often as you want so you will not miss any of our spectacular flowers.
Treats at the Elm Tree Cafe
We are very proud of our Elm Tree Café. This little café creates everything from scratch and features traditional as well as innovative tastes of the Annapolis Royal region. With your Historic Gardens membership you can enjoy a cup of coffee and a sweet treat under the shade of our centuries old elm tree every day. Join us for lunch or a quick refresher as you explore Gardens.

We Are A Registered Charity
The Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens Society is a registered charity whose purpose is stewardship of these Seventeen Acres of Paradise. Without the charitable donations we receive every year, the Gardens could simply not exist. We encourage you to support the Society in this important work to help to ensure the Gardens continue to blossom for future generations. In addition to the year end tax benefit, a donation to the Gardens can also make a very meaningful gift for a loved one.
