Devonian Gardens
Calgary, Canada
Devonian Gardens is a large indoor park and botanical garden located in the downtown core of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In 2012 a major $37-million renovation was completed. Located on the Stephen Avenue pedestrian mall (8 Avenue SW) between 2 Street SW and 3 Street SW, the park is completely enclosed with glass and covers 2.5 acres (10, 000 m2) (one full city block) on the top floor of The Core Shopping Centre. It is maintained by The City of Calgary Parks. The gardens include a 900 sq ft living wall, koi ponds, fountains, a children's play area, and over 550 trees, along with meeting and function spaces for special events. The original gardens contained more than 20,000 plants representing 135 tropical and local species, decorated with waterfalls, bridges, koi ponds and sculptures by local artists, showcased as a permanent art exhibition.
