Small but mighty garden within a garden. Toronto Botanical Garden sits within Edwards Gardens in Toronto and offers cool little plants all seasons long.
This lake is actually pretty small and easy to circle in an hour (or a little more if you stop for ice cream). No motorized boats are allowed, so it's nice and quiet.
During the on-season, 2 and sometimes 3 ships a day hit up these small islands with tourists. I imagine it's both a blessing and a curse for the locals. As a traveler, I just want to find a little slice of quiet to take in the view.
