Description
The Devonian Botanic Garden is Canada's most northerly botanical garden. It was established in 1959 by the University of Alberta, and is located near the town of Devon, Alberta in Parkland County.
The big part of Devonian Botanic Garden is Kurimoto Japanese Garden.
It is a five acre garden, created in the kaiyou (strolling garden) style. The design is authentically Japanese, but utilizes plant species that are hardy to our northern climate. Ornaments and structures include lanterns, pagoda, entrance gate, belfry and asumayas (viewing shelters), along with the Ozawa Pavilion Teahouse and adjoining Ikoi no ba.
Opened in 1990, the Kurimoto Japanese Garden is named after Dr. Yuichi Kurimoto, the first Japanese national to graduate from the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Arts in 1930.
