We visited Banff in summer of 2023. We started our journey from San Francisco. We flew in to Calgary. We stayed in Canmore, which is 30 mins drive from Banff downtown. On Day 4 after visiting Yoho National Park, after coming back from Yoho National Park to Banff downtown, we visited the Cascade of Time Gardens, which is located at the end of Banff Avenue, right across the Bow river.

Here is the entrance to Time of Cascade Garden located right behind Banff administrative buildings. Summer is the best time to visit with all the flowers blooming. Carrying a camera is a must to capture the breathtaking views from the garden and of course garden it self.

There are several ponds and small waterfalls through out the garden.
Garden contains vibrant blooms of roses, lilies, delphiniums, and lupines that paint the summer months in breathtaking color. You can also find several Gazebos in the garden.

Here is one final shot of Banff avenue from the garden. Overall this is a must visit garden, since specially located right in the downtown Banff.
The vibrants colors of the flowers are so pretty; I especially love the dark purple and blue hues. The name of the garden is also really pretty- Cascade of Time. I can just imagine living right in the middle of the garden and being able to escape to tranquility.
