Kingsbrae Garden is a 27-acre garden on King Street in St. Andrews by-the-Sea, a small resort town on Passamaquoddy Bay in south-west New Brunswick, about 100 km south-west of Saint John (confirm). It was laid out in the late 1990s on the grounds of old seaside estates, and the beds, lawns and woods are arranged as a chain of themed areas with a rose garden, a perennial garden, an apothecary or herb garden, a cutting garden, seaside lookouts and shaded woodland paths (confirm names). Hundreds of plant varieties are labelled, a sculpture trail runs among the beds, and a small paddock holds alpacas that children visit. A cafe serves lunch and tea on a terrace, and a shop sells plants and gifts (confirm). The garden is open from spring to autumn, with the fullest colour from July to early September. Allow two to three hours, and expect a quiet, unhurried walk rather than a hike. Admission is charged (confirm).

Kingsbrae is a seasonal garden, commonly open daily from about mid-May to mid-October, with hours that run from about 9 am to 5 or 6 pm and a last admission an hour or so before closing (confirm all dates and times). The cafe and shop follow the same season and may close earlier in the shoulder months. Some days may be closed for weddings or private events, so check before driving from Saint John. The garden is closed in winter. Daylight lasts to about 9 pm in June, and fog from the Bay of Fundy can cut visibility on summer mornings before it lifts around midday.
