Designed by Robert Desjardins, the garden is located immediately to the south of Château Frontenac and is bounded by Rue Mont-Carmel to the north, Rue des Carrières to the east, Avenue Sainte-Geneviève to the south, and Rue de la Porte to the west.

[1] The park overlooks the St. Lawrence River to the east, beyond Dufferin Terrace.

It was redeveloped in 2000 as a reference to gardens that existed around the city during the time of Claude de Ramezay in the first half of the 18th century.

In 1731, there were almost 200 gardens in Quebec City, but many succumbed to building construction.

[1] The Wolfe–Montcalm Monument, unveiled in 1828, stands at the eastern edge of the park, on Rue des Carrières.
