🌱Spring is a beautiful time to visit Grand-Pré National Historic Site, with the Victorian Gardens coming alive in full bloom. But while spring brings new growth, it also reminds us of nature’s cycles. This winter, one of our old weeping willows came down, much to the sadness of our staff team. Life in the gardens, however, continues on.
