Enjoy the Gardens in Pictures 


It’s winter for sure!  If you need a respite from all that snow then browse through some of the pictures taken at RBG and posted on the web.  You will find photos of plants and animals in their natural habitats, as well as cultivated plants in the gardens and you will be able to dream of the return to warmer days.

  • A great source of photos can be found on the Flickr website.  Auxiliary volunteer Catherine Shimmell has posted 90 photos in the collection entitled “Royal Botanical Gardens - Ontario”  and is the fifth top contributor. You can click on a name to see the photos of the listed contributors or on the heading “photos” near the top to see the whole collection.  Hover your mouse over the picture to reveal its title and the name of the contributor.  https://www.flickr.com/groups/696148@N25/
  • Flickr also has another collection of RBG photos entitled “Royal Botanical Gardens – Burlington, Ontario”  http://www.flickr.com/groups/740296@N25/
  • Another good source is RBG’s own Facebook page. You don’t have to be a member of Facebook to open it up.  I have included the link to the photo albums.  Scroll down and open up the various albums and have a look. If you click on the individual picture you will enlarge it and also find a caption for that photo. Photos in the Timeline album are the current photos that are added depicting the daily events. https://www.facebook.com/RoyalBotanicalGardens/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums
