If you take a look to the left across the road, you’ll see a huge glass building! That’s the Devonian Gardens! The gardens are essentially a massive greenhouse, technically called a botanical garden, devoting three indoor acres to trees, waterfalls, and plants.

​

Since they first opened in 1977, the Gardens have undergone some serious renovations. In fact, the whole facility was closed for four years between 2008 and 2012 to undergo a facelift, which included the installation of a gigantic three-block long skylight! Sounds more like a face...light to me.

​

The Devonian Gardens are home to 550 trees, thousands of plants, a 900 square foot living wall, and a huge koi pond!

​

If you’re not quite so green fingered, don’t worry! You’ll also find plenty of restaurants and shops on the floors below the Gardens! If you've got some time, I recommend checking it out!
