Humber Arboretum
Humber Arboretum, beside Humber College's North Campus in northwest Toronto, combines extensive gardens with wooded trails and a visitor centre. SIGS records document eight weddings using the arboretum as a portrait location. The varied garden and woodland settings make it worth considering when planning an outdoor portrait stop.
