Enjoy a peaceful walk through four acres of natural rock gardens and grass pathways. Then delight yourself watching g-gauge trains travel though a miniature village. Plantings in the gardens consist mainly of perennials, flowering shrubs, and groundcovers such as creeping phlox.

3 acres of perennials gardens will delight the gardener in you, and enjoy the 400 feet of track with a G-gauge electric train and cars. It is a continuing project, which will entertain children and adults alike. Doug - the founder of the railway line spent the winter building small replicas of buildings found in Wiarton and Owen Sound. Doug sadly passed away in March 2006 and the railway will be continued by Doug's grandson Jacob who will be operating the Garden Railroad this summer.
