Its that time of year when the romance of snow-kissed streets has lost
its appeal, and we start dreaming of trees in full bloom and stepping
out in bare skin.
One way to feel the warmth and lushness of kinder climes (without
leaving Toronto) is to step into the Conservatory
at Allen Gardens.
Within minutes your body warms up and your senses are awakened. Each
beautiful glass room is humid, sticky and lush and filled with the heady
scent of crocus, tulips and hyacinth. By the time you reach the cactus
room, youll think youve hit Baja.
The burst of cold air as you step outside is welcome relief, a reminder
even, that winters not all that bad. Athena Tsavliris
