This Alberta mountain town has an enchanting garden that is FREE to visit this summer

Alberta is known for its stunning views and natural beauty, so it should come as no surprise that tucked behind their stone Administration Building in one of our beautiful mountain towns, you’ll find the Cascade of Time Garden – a 4-acre park with thousands of flowers and one of the best things to do in Banff.

Built in 1935, this impressive oasis is well known to locals but occasionally overlooked by tourists.
