About Rosetta McClain Gardens
Once a 40 acre Rumph farm, overlooking Scarborough Bluffs, the Rosetta McClain Garden was the property of Rosetta, daughter of Thomas McDonald West, owner and operator of J. & J. Taylor Limited, Toronto Safe Works. Many of the historic landscape improvements enjoyed today were initially undertaken by Rosetta’s husband, Robert Watson McClain, and her brother Joseph McDonald. After Rosetta McClain’s death in 1940, her husband offered their property to the city of Toronto as parkland in her memory in 1959. Today the garden features beautiful rose gardens, intricate garden beds, a rock fountain, a pergola and stunning views of Lake Ontario. (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
