Olympic Garden

Alongside the Rideau Canal, down from the Lansdowne Gardens, you will find the Olympic Garden. Like our athletes, the tulips and other flowers in this garden are outstanding performers. Commemorating the 1988 Olympic torch relay, Olympic Flame tulips provide the backdrop to Vilem Zach’s sculpture “Share the Flame”. In the spring, “Olympic Flame” tulips are paired with “Jan Seignette,” a tulip with reversed colours surrounding the bronze statue bearing an Olympic torch.

A two-kilometre stroll along the Rideau Canal from Commissioners Park will lead you to this garden.
