| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
“Beauty on the Rocks” is the name of this photograph taken today at Memorial University’s Botanical Gardens. It seeks to foster an appreciation of natural history in the development and future of the university and the province.
The Garden has been developed to display plants native to the province and cultivated plants suitable to the local climate and to provide access to a number of habitats through a system of trails.
Originally named Oxen Pond Botanic Park, it was initiated in 1971, under the supervision of Bernard S. Jackson. It was opened to the public in July 1977. The Garden became a not-for-profit corporation in 1994.
The Botanical Garden is located at 306 Mount Scio Road, just north of the main university campus in St. John's.
In 2007, the Garden celebrated 30 years of welcoming the public. |
