Flora

This beautiful statue of the Goddess Flora is found in Halifax’s Public Gardens. The Gardens are the finest and largest Victorian Gardens in North America. Founded in 1836, it went through several changes until about 1874, when it was established on 16 acres in the downtown centre. The paths, when seen from above, resemble delicate lace. There is a large lake with resident ducks and swans, three major fountains, and a beautiful bandstand. Trees, flowers, and bushes from all over the world have been planted and many have been donated by foreign countries. The site is surrounded by a tall wrought iron fence with gates at each corner and at the centre of one of the long sides. In 1984 it was declared a National Historic Site.
For decades it has been a haven for lovers of all ages and for those with small children. It is the site of more wedding and graduation photographs than anywhere else in Nova Scotia.
