Ronning's Garden is a hidden gem nestled in the rainforest of Vancouver Island North.

Originally established by Norwegian settler Bernt Ronning in the early 1900s, this heritage garden offers a glimpse into the past with its unique collection of plants and trees from around the world.

You can wander through the terraced beds filled with colorful flowers, towering bamboo, and the iconic Monkey Puzzle tree.

This park is maintained by dedicated volunteers, so donations are welcomed to help preserve this special place.
