Weekend itineraries: a garden and a forest

Start your weekend off the right way - brunch! Voted the best brunch in Avenue magazine, Branches Fresh Food Experience is the perfect way to start your Saturday while supporting a local restaurant. Found at Greenland Garden Centre, this exquisite location has the most gorgeous surrounding from the garden center. A suggestion would be to make a reservation as this is a popular spot! After your brunch, make sure to wander around the greenhouse - they've won numerous awards including "Canada's Best Garden Centre".

Once you have filled up on brunch, head over to the Strathcona Wilderness Centre to get active. Check out the maintained trails for some hiking or play a round of disc golf. Take a stroll on the boardwalk at Bennett Lake and maybe you'll spot some wildlife! This is a great place to end the day.
