Plein-Air Picnics at Tangled Garden

Indulge in a picnic amid the beauty of one of Canada’s finest gardens! Step under twisted wisteria, wander beside statuesque grasses and perennials, and follow the flowering labyrinth to pause for sweeping views of the Bay of Fundy and Landscape of Grand Pré UNESCO World Heritage Site. Relax in our enchanting Tea Room or choose that perfect spot perhaps under the ancient Oak.

What people are saying:

From Tripadvisor: “The gardens are very pleasant to wander, but the real reason to come here is the incredible edibles. The most delicious and original jellies, chutneys and other preserves we have ever tasted. Magic in your mouth. Thankfully you can also order online, which we will be doing now since our beautiful Nova Scotia vacation is over.”
