The Leaf in Assiniboine Park is a world-class attraction that celebrates the universal connection between people and nature through cultural and botanical diversity. The result of a decade-long visionary collaboration led by landscape architects on both sides of the project, The Leaf’s 10 exterior landscapes and four interior landscape biomes embody the multicultural communities of Canada and their plant stories.
This unique 24-hectare destination features 67,000 plants and over 5,000 diverse cultivars that form a living mosaic of nature-centric experiences fostering learning and connection. The Leaf and surrounding gardens play a critical role in transferring resilient and sustainable landscape approaches into public consciousness in a way that encourages mainstream adoption. It is a place where all people can see themselves in the landscape no matter where they come from, linking their cultural roots to their evolving Canadian identities.
