An affordable and relaxing trip into the past. From the general store, to the printing shop and the restaurant, we enjoyed the interaction with staff and the food. Fun day.

We walked to the Kingsbrae Garden from the Algonquin Inn where we were staying, and it was only a 10 minute stroll. This attraction exceeded our expectations, and we enjoyed meandering through each and every garden, our favourites were the perennial garden (full of colour, and ideas for home!); the bird and butterfly garden - the monarchs were all over the place; a 'secret' garden - a wonderful area for reflection and contemplation; and the Sculpture Garden with gorgeous art works nested amongst the flowers and greenery. We had a delightful lunch at the Garden Cafe, a bright and cheerful dining area. I had Bacon, Chive and Cheese Quiche with Garden Salad and Garden Punch, and my husband had a Spinach Salad. The gift shop was full of curios, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the time spent at the garden was well worth the price of admission. If you are in St. Andrew's, try to make time for this lovely spot (and get there early in the morning before any bus tours arrive).

Enjoyed an after dinner walk through the park. It is beautiful and very romantic. There is also a place for kids but we didn't go there. Just enjoyed a quiet walk and admired the flowers and different edible plants.

Besides that we love Bouctouche itself we like even more this Arboretum. It's like an oasis of gorgeous trees and flowers close to the ocean. Huge collection of unusual trees, beautiful gardens full of very tastefully selected plants and flowers and bushes. At the time of our visit everything was blooming. There were lots of wild bees and honey bees, butterflies and other insects, lots of birds, groundhogs and deer. All park is nicely maintained. It was a great pleasure to be there. We also had a picnic which was delightful.

We were here right after Canada Day and there were still celebratory concerts, which we quite enjoyed. The temporary bleachers were fine for the evening events. We explored the park more the next day, hiking along the Riverside Trail, which is also part of the Great Trail, what used to be called the Trans Canada Trail. The people who live in Moncton are lucky to have such a park.
