Guild Park and Gardens

Thanks to Heritage Toronto for arranging a tour of Guild Park and Gardens over the weekend. I hadn’t been there since I was a kid, so it was a treat.

Friends of Guild Park & Gardens are to be congratulated for their valiant work saving the historic sculpture garden at the site of the former Guild Inn. See the Friends’ website for a free walking tour guide and tonnes of historical information on this 88-acre former private estate.
