Experiencing Shamper’s Bluff

Using nature to inspire, teach, and heal, The Freeman Patterson Centre maintains a large garden that combines botanical and horticultural studies, ecology, aesthetics, and health and wellness pursuits on the Shamper’s Bluff Natural Area with the cooperation of the Nature Conservancy of Canada.

Commitment to Minimizing our Environmental Footprint

It is the immersion in the natural surroundings that makes programs offered by The Freeman Patterson Centre unique, impactful and meaningful. Environmental considerations are fundamental to the planning of programs we offer, including visitor capacity limits, parking requirements, and the timing of garden maintenance.
