St. John’s Gardens is a small, formal garden filled to the brim with statuary and memorials; its rose flowerbeds forming the backdrop to St. George’s Hall. Sandwiched between the museum and gallery on William Brown Street and Queen’s Square, it offers a traffic-free cut-through from town to museum.
