St. Albert Botanic Park in St. Albert, Alberta, is an amazing park fully maintained and operated by volunteers. In a world that has an abundance of entrance fees, this garden is completely free! (Donations welcome.) The garden beds are beautifully arranged and filled with a wide variety of flowers, fruit trees and lilacs. Every time I visit I'm impressed with the work these volunteers have put in to maintain such a beautiful place. Below is just a sampling of the flowers that caught my attention on my latest visit.
