Prairie Gardens and Adventure Farm is a working 35-acre family farm with greenhouses, garden centre, strawberry U-Pick, and pumpkin patch with a 7 acre Corn Maze located in scenic Sturgeon County just north of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada at Bon Accord. Prairie Gardens is a great place for gardeners, families and family fun!
Come for our festivals, a group outing, to U-Pick strawberries, or just to get lost in a cornfield maze for a few hours in Edmonton's Countryside. We're famous for our gorgeous hanging baskets, delicious U-Pick Alberta Strawberries in July, the Great Prairie Corn Maze and Haunted Pumpkin Festival every weekend in October!

Our lands were first homesteaded by the Franklin & Florence Pierce in 1898. Located along the Athabasca Landing Trail, Florence writes in the "Leaves of Yesteryear", Bon Accord's local history book, that "There were many a night I could hardly walk to the kitchen, for the bedrolls and travelers sleeping on our hearth."
In 1956, the farm was purchased by John and Sheena Chedzoy, and so began Prairie Gardens. John planted the beautiful trees located on site today, and operated a tree nursery and garden centre until his retirement.
Present owner and Director of Fun, Tam Andersen, is well known in the region as an Alberta Ambassador, still pioneering the way in agri-tourism, local food and value-added agriculture. The farm welcomes over 50,000 visitors each year - carrying on the tradition of the homesteader's early hospitality.
