The Garden

Our garden is a Nova Scotia tourist destination.

2024: Opening long weekend in May - November.

Stroll the Garden

Thirty years in the making, Tangled Garden has grown out of one woman's passion for beauty and flavour. Wander through classic garden rooms hedged in box, yew and beech. Explore a dry stream bed flanked by statuesque grasses and perennials. Walk the flowering labyrinth then pause on a bench with sweeping views of the Bay of Fundy. Meander down a wonderland of garden paths that change in their glory throughout the season. Sculptures will surprise you along the way.

Tangled Garden has a classical seven-circuit labyrinth with paths of clover and walls of flowers, approximately 80 feet in diameter, and is one of six Canadian gardens included in 'The Gardener's Garden', a compendium of world gardens.

“Magical, truly. If you come to the Annapolis Valley in the summer for only two sights, let it be a play at Ross Creek Centre and a stroll through Tangled Garden. Oh, and the preserves are to die for! Not to mention the ice cream, liqueurs...”
