8. Montreal Botanical Garden, Canada
Founded in 1931, the Jardin Botanique de Montréal is like an oasis in the midst of the city. It features a famous First Nations Garden, which includes only Canadian plants, a Japanese Garden complete with Japanese plants and a Chinese Garden with a number of penjing and bonsai.
Art lovers will find more to enjoy here as this garden is also known for its unique artwork. Last year there was a walkway of human scale creature domiciles. Here visitors could enter each one and see what it is like to live in the homes of local birds, mammals, and even insects.
