  1. The Stables: The horse stalls are constructed of mahogany and the floors are covered with Spanish tiles.

  2. The Estate Gardens: Renovated by the Garden Club of Toronto, the 5 acres surrounding Casa Loma feature formal perennial borders, sculptures and fountains. The wooded hillside showcases wild flowers and ferns plus dramatic rhododendrons and decorative grasses.
  3. The Secret Garden: The Secret Garden gets its name from the perimeter fieldstone walls and cedar hedge that surround it. The area has a cottage garden feel due to the mixed plantings of shrubs and perennials and lush roses cascading down from the Arbour.
  4. Potting Shed: A large room where past and present Casa Loma gardeners plant material for use throughout the grounds.
