The Ramble comprises 7 acres of Display Gardens and Garden Centre, open every
day from mid April to the end of October.
Its mission is "to capture the imagination of gardeners and collectors", in a
woodland setting, showcasing and selling rare and unusual Hostas, Grasses,
Conifers, and a range of interesting shrubs, trees and perennials.
The Ramble was initiated in 1999 with initial site clearing after the ice
storm of 1998. Most of the infrastructure was created in 2000, with the
Centre opening in the fall of that year. Owners and founders, Dave Dunn and
Rob Caron were extremely proud to have received the Canadian Garden Council-
2015 Destination Garden Centre of the Year Award and being named a Canada 150
Garden Experience in 2017. The Ramble is a member of the Thousand Islands and
Rideau Canal Garden Trail, and the home of the Garden and Wildlife Art of Dave Dunn at the Pavilion Gallery.
