Fletcher Wildlife Gardens

A native wildlife garden within Ottawa's historic Experimental Farm – a quiet green refuge for native plants, butterflies, and birds in the heart of Canada's capital.

The Fletcher Wildlife Gardens are a nature-focused wildlife garden within Ottawa's Central Experimental Farm, a National Historic Site of Canada. The garden was specifically designed to encourage native plants and attract wildlife – including butterflies, frogs, and a wide variety of bird species. As part of the 426-hectare Experimental Farm, which has conducted agricultural research since 1886, the Wildlife Gardens form a green oasis in the heart of the national capital. For nature lovers, the garden is an ideal spot for quiet walks and birdwatching.
