The Horticultural Hall Plaza was built in 2004 by public subscription following the devastation caused by Hurricane Juan. At the center of the plaza is a fountain with a 2' high 15' diameter circular stone basin. In the center five swans support a middle basin. A column rises in the middle and up to a smaller basin which has a finial that shoots water straight up. Water cascades down through the central basins into the stone basin below.
A plaque on he fountain is inscribed:
Hurricane Juan struck Halifax on September 29, 2003,
devastating the Halifax Public Gardens. A volunteer-led
foundation was formed to raise funds and restore the
Gardens and historic Horticultural Hall.
This fountain and plaza were dedicated on Natal Day,
August 6, 2007 by His Worship Mayor Peter Kelly and
Robert L. Pace, Chairman, Public Gardens Foundation
to recognize the tireless effors and work to restore and
revitalize one of Canada's public treasures.
