It could be -30C outside, the snow could be swirling, but inside it's always warm and humid. Devonian Gardens is a botanical garden in the heart of downtown Calgary, with benches to sit and eat or meditate. This is a very popular spot with the office lunch crowd as well as a favoured spot for wedding pictures and receptions. The chirping you hear isn't fake, there are real birds living amongst the 20,000 plants spread across 2.5 acres, with 1.6km of walkways. I don't know if frolicking is the right word, but that's what they seem to be doing. The many water pools are home to a variety of fish and some Red Ear Slider turtles. A true paradise to escape from the real weather - and it's free (donations accepted).
This is an exhibition - not a competition. Please...no wagering.
