Breathe Deep, Breathe Green
The TRU gardens are truly beautiful
The gardens at Thompson Rivers University are absolutely gorgeous and dedicated, knowledgeable guides are available to teach you about the plants, growing seasons, gardening techniques and climatic conditions. Lean modern methods of gardening such as xeriscaping, or brush up on new strains of shrubs and flowers to suit your own garden at home
This is a pleasant way to spend and hour or two and get away from the hubbub of the city centre. Enjoy a juice, coffee or tea on a park bench and relax in solitude. Free of charge, by donation and no reservations required!
