George Pegg Botanic Garden

Overview

The original homestead of pioneer botanist who made major contributions to plant and bird identification in Alberta. Pegg’s contribution to the understanding of the diverse Alberta flora was notable. Of particular importance was the discovery by George Pegg of an area that had escaped the glacial scrubbing eradication of earlier plant life that took place during the last ice age. As a result of George’s involvement, the Flora of Alberta, when it was published in 1959, was expanded by more than 100 species. Pegg’s collection recorded in this paper extended the known ranges of more than 50 species in Alberta. The 12.6 acre site has the capacity to host outdoor events for up to 100 guests. People rent the Garden for weddings, family reunions, birthday parties, group tours, and photography sessions.
