ROYAL BOTANICAL GARDENS This important botanical garden is distinguished by its first class horticultural collection. Originating in the late 1920s, it developed as a series of discrete gardens and a wildlife conservation area within an urban context. Some of Canada's most talented landscape architects, botanists and plant curators have collaborated on the garden, imparting an overall unity and aesthetic appeal. In 1975, the Royal Botanical Gardens was designated the International Registration Authority for the names of cultivated lilacs in honour of its world-renowned lilac collection.

LES JARDINS BOTANIQUES ROYAUX Une collection horticole de premier ordre distingue cet important jardin botanique. Créé à la fin des années 1920, il se compose maintenant d'une série de jardins distincts et d'une aire de conservation de la faune s'insérant dans un contexte urbain. Certains des meilleurs architectes paysagers, botanistes et conservateurs de plantes du Canada ont collaboré pour en assurer l'unité d'ensemble et la qualité esthétique. En 1975, sa collection de lilas, de réputation mondiale, lui a valu d'être reconnu comme l'autorité internationale d'enregistrement des noms des lilas cultivés.

The Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania stands under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
