Greenland and Salisbury greenhouses doors are always open to invite you to brighten your day with flowers to delight your senses. Head to Crooked Mouth Pub, a locally owned British style pub and the perfect place to sit back and relax while listening to some home-grown talent at open mic night.

With your belly full, it's time to continue your adventures in Strathcona County. The Biodiversity Trail in the Beaver Hills Biosphere is a great place for a walk as it’s only about 2 kilometres long. Here you can see many species of birds and natures splendor. Sooth your muscles at Elk Island Retreat, where you can find Canada's first mirrored sauna! This immersive Nordic sauna experience is sure to bring deep relaxation to a new level, while being surrounded by nature.

Vicky's Bistro, a locally owned restaurant and wine bar, has fused Mediterranean and Western cuisine and is an excellent option for lunch. They have a great patio to enjoy as the weather gets warmer.
