Mazes have been around since the Greek traveller and writer Herodotus visited an Egyptian Labyrinth in the 5th Century, BC.Since that time, gardeners the world over created such “walking puzzles” where hedges are grown to border pathways which can either lead a visitor out – or further astray inside the labyrinth.Today, many labyrinths are built as mindfulness meditations, adding another layer of interpretation and meaning to exploring them.Check Kingsbrae’s website for a host of arty and other summer events, and be sure to visit the onsite gift and plant shop.Here’s a spring peek at some of Canada’s other great gardens:My parents, especially Mom, loved to while away an afternoon in an enclosed steamy glass greenhouse situated near the famous Niagara FallAs kids we piled into the station wagon and headed just past the mighty Horseshoe Falls to literally spend hours inside the tropical paradise, rife with wild orchids, ferns and palm trees.A real find, the historic property makes a pleasurable tonic to the final days of winter.Styled in seasonal flower beds lush with Easter lilies, forced spring bulbs, Azaleas, and the rare Schizanthus the gardeners hand-pollinate these seeds which are not commercially available.Meanwhile its sister plant, the Narcissus also profusely flowers there and so do tulips.In springtime find the Orange Queen, Blueberry Ripple and palettes of pink tulips adorning the park’s gardens.Easter Display: Easter weekend lasting 3 weeks prior.There’s a beautiful friendship between Canada and The Netherlands and each spring, visitors to the national capital will see this strong bond through a profusion of colourful perennials.Ever since the first Canadian Tulip Festival made its debut in 1953, these happy tulips have turned Canada’s capital into a colourful flower show.As World War II ravaged across Europe, a young Dutch Princess Juliana with her two princess daughters boarded a Halifax-bound ship then made her way to Ottawa.She later gave birth to Princess Margriet Francisca at the Ottawa Civic Hospital.The federal government symbolically made the hospital room Dutch soil and to this day Princess Margriet is the only royal ever to be born in North America.In addition, the Dutch were deeply moved by Canada’s role in the liberation of the Netherlands; thus the countless precious tulips.For me as a university student, the heavy weight of long dreary school days seemed to be lifted off my shoulders when I used to take long walks in spring along the Rideau Canal.Memories of the Crayola-dipped tulips splayed on the canal shoulders with clusters of the bright perennials dancing around Dows Lake and the Parliament Hill have stuck with me over the years.Location: Dows Lake, Major’s Hill Park, Parliament HillThey had me at the whiff of lilacs.
