Rosetta McClain Gardens is one of the hotspots in Scarborough for bird-watching. The beautiful variety of flowers and trees makes this place very attractive for all kinds of migrating birds during the spring and fall seasons. There are often city gardeners tending to their plants, so be very stealthy when you retrieve and replace the cache.
From the city of Toronto website:
This fully-accessible, 7.5 hectare, garden park at the top of the Scarborough Bluffs was designed to invigorate the senses as well as offer a spectacular view of Lake Ontario. You can hear the water gushing from a central water fountain into a sloped splash basin inviting you to touch the water cascading down the granite rock. A pathway lined with bright flowers leads through an herb garden, scented garden and a rose garden-- all highly fragrant to exhilarate your sense of smell. There is a perennial garden, a limestone rockery bursting with begonias, geraniums and cardoons and raised planters that are wheelchair height. The garden also has a special Braille signage system.
Rosetta McClain Gardens is a great place for a quiet moment, inspired by nature and a haven for flower connoisseurs, bird and butterfly watchers. It is also renowned as a spot for wedding photographs.
Trails within the park take you alongside the bluff, offering wonderful views of the lakeshore and lake. You might catch sight of cliff swallows and raptors that inhabit the bluff and various watercraft on the lake. On a clear day you can see buildings and smoke stacks across the lake. Remember, no dogs are allowed in the gardens.
