Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate retreat, or special celebration, the Botanic Gardens and Wetlands combine natural beauty with educational purpose—designed not only as a stunning outdoor venue but also as a living laboratory that supports the College’s horticulture programs and research.
Basic set-up and take-down are included in your rental, and a full range of equipment and services – from tents and chairs to tech supports – is available to tailor your event to your needs.
Olds College is happy to offer ceremony space for your wedding in one of our lovely outdoor venues. While we endeavor to meet the needs of all our brides, weddings that have their receptions onsite as well as their ceremonies, are given booking priority. Our coordinators are happy to work with you to see what options are available for your special day.
The Central Gardens are home to more than 20 specialty gardens and collections including the Rose Garden, Perennial Border, Monocot Bed and more plant collections and specialty gardens cover 5 acres with an average of 12,000 annuals planted each season.
