    The first time I came here was back in 2017. That time they were under renovations. I came back in 2019. Wow it is a lot nicer than what I remembered. There are kois in the pond. It is a beautiful indoor area/jungle inside The Core Mall (located beside the food court/ top floor). I really enjoyed having lunch here. It is super relaxing. The garden isn't big but there are chairs and tables available on a first come first serve basis. Nice relaxing escape.

    I love it, a small garden filled with indoor plants for people to walk around, explore, sit, hang out, relax and eat at. Really wish we have this in the state to enjoy. The hubs and I were just walking around exploring the mall and came across this garden. Not gonna lie, I took over two dozen, maybe almost three dozen pics. I love that the garden is so well kept and take care of, you don't see any died or dying plants which is awesome. I also appreciate everyone who is there, who just lets the plants be. Its really a nice escape from reality, highly recommend for everyone who is nearby or at the mall to pop in and check it out.

    I love these gardens they are absolutely stunning. What a great opportunity for free mini vacation and lots of fresh air full of oxygen thanks to all the beautiful plants reaching to the ceilings... The only negative thing is I really don't appreciate being followed three steps behind me for over an hour by an obnoxious security guard. Honestly what does she think I'm going to steal? I'm carrying a $500 Kate Spade purse I'm wearing $1000 jacket and walking with my two teen sons while taking pictures of the flowers. What could I possibly do that is illegal here? There's literally nothing to steal. Just plants. Which I'm certainly not going to do in this beautiful outfit. Maybe I should go home and change into my scrubs and gardening gear and bring a shovel and come back and take all their plants. Ridiculous.

    The renovation that they did recently to Devonian Gardens made it look so beautiful! I love how it looks now!

    Wow. Stunning. What a great escape in a concrete jungle. Well done Calgary. Woven into the top floor food court is an incredibly Impressive tropical escape. Lots of tables to relax in and corners to escape to and feel like you've stepped out of the country for lunch. I can definitely appreciate that they spent a couple million bucks building this place. The gardens are worth a destination visit and are not just a simple convenience if you're in the building.

    The sign says "no coins." the koi fish could die if they swallow them. People are still throwing coins in. :'(

    It's pretty in here, but the name makes it seem much more majestic than it actually is. Right now, it's pretty mall-tastic, which I suppose is appropriate. The signage that tells people not to throw coins in to the Koi ponds needs to be much bigger, because I can still see coins in the pond. Stop it! You are killing the fishies! :'(

    Don't get me wrong. The gardens are beautiful. Clean, spiffy, manicured, and sanitized. Maybe that's the problem. It's TOO clean. It's too spiffy, too manicured, and too sanitized. For me, going to the old gardens was like going to Pages on Kensington or the now-defunct McNally's bookstore. It's homey, comfortable, and smells a lot like what it should smell like: musty (in the garden's case, it smells/feels humid and earthy). The newly reopened gardens, however, is akin to going to a brand-new Chapters, where books smell like plastic and being there feels so oddly wrong - too distant, too commercial. Maybe it just needs a little more usage; perhaps some wear and tear to get its old character back. Until then, it just looks and feels like a rich man's garden inside a really big house.

    This is a nice relaxing spot in the middle of downtown Calgary. I love the variety of tropical flowers, plants and trees. The goldfish pond at the end is a treat my kids never get tired of. Devonian gardens is very well maintained by the Calgary Parks Service and is my choice spot for meeting out-of-town friends. It's easy to grab some eats from the Core food court too.

    Pssst: Devonian Gardens is one of the places you can go to get away from anyone you know. It's beautiful. Pass it on.
