James Gardens is a botanical garden in Etobicoke area of Toronto, Ontario, Canada along the Humber River. It was the estate of Mr. and Mrs. Fred T. James. In 1908, Fred James purchased the property from his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Rumney, as well as the adjoining land from the Home Smith Company. This purchase totalled of hills, valleys, virgin forest, and bush meadow land on the west side of the Humber River in the area then part of Etobicoke. ==Overview== James Gardens consists of broad lawns, numerous flower beds, specimen plantings, rock gardens, nature trails, three large and four small ponds fed by a spring and connected by a stream, a carp pool, and a lawn bowling court. It is connected to the Humber River pedestrian and cycling trail. Each year thousands of flowers and over 75,000 tulips are planted in the beds, whose designs and materials are changed annually in the rock gardens and under the well-pruned trees and shrubs. Each year, there are tens of thousands of visitors, and many weddings and receptions are held on the grounds of James Gardens. CBC Television shot scenes at James Gardens for the program "This is the Law", with Paul Soles. The mayor of Toronto , Rob Ford, lives near the entrance of the park; he was unsuccessful in buying a segment from the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Gardens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
