The Assiniboine Park greenhouses are currently home to a varied collection of vegetable plants including tomatoes, peppers, Turkish eggplant, onions, potatoes, and a variety of herbs.
For close to a decade, Mike has been a valued and influential member of the Assiniboine Park Conservancy’s culinary team and this spring, he has taken on new responsibility as the Head Chef at the Park Café.
Tucked inside the greenhouse at Assiniboine Park is a collection of trees that are rare and remarkable. Often called the dinosaur tree, the Wollemi Pine was thought to be extinct for two million years.
The National Garden Bureau has declared 2021 to be the “Year of the Hardy Hibiscus”, and at Assiniboine Park and Zoo we can’t wait to celebrate this vibrant flower all year long.
