For Canada's 150th anniversary, these two garden beds were renovated by the Ottawa Horticultural Society (OHS) and The Friends of the Central Experimental Farm (FCEF). The design principals originally used by R. Warren Oliver in 1936 provided inspiration for the plant selections to reflect William T. Macoun's favourite plants. Macoun was Dominion Horticulturalist from 1910 to 1933 and OHS president in 1899.
Pour le 150e anniversaire du Canada, l'Ottawa Horticultural Society (OHS) et les Amis de la Ferme Expérimentale centrale (AFEC) ont rénové ces deux plates-bandes. Les principes de conception utilisés à l'origine par R.Warren Oliveren 1936 ont inspiré les choix de plantes préférées de William T. Macoun, qui fut le horticulteur du Dominion de 1910 à 1933 et président de l'OHS en 1899.
These two small gardens stand at the entrance to the Central Experimental Farms Ornamental Gardens, covering about half an acre. With it's walking paths, benches, fountains, and plants covering most spring, summer, and fall seasons, it is a delight to visit.
