Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens was originally established in 1936 as the School
for Apprentice Gardeners. It remains a unique location for studying gardening
and obtaining the knowledge necessary to grow and maintain the landscapes of the
Park System. With
an increase in magnitude and quality of the plant collections, the school campus
was officially declared a Botanical Garden in 1990. Since 1936, horticultural
excellence has been the emphasis of The School of Horticulture. The training program
is designed to enable all students to obtain practical experience by daily participation
in horticultural activities. The students are responsible for the maintenance
and development of the Botanical Gardens. In
addition, an intensive classroom lecture schedule is designed to provide students
with a sound basic knowledge of horticultural theory. The mission of the Botanical
Gardens is to train students in the art, mystery and science of horticulture while
providing opportunities for visitor enjoyment, study and research. Visit
