Construction of $25 million Aga Khan garden reaches halfway point

Construction of the multimillion dollar Islamic garden at the University of Alberta Botanic Garden has reached the halfway point.
Announced in late April, funding for the 12 acre Mughal Garden came courtesy of a $25-million donation from the Aga Khan, the hereditary Imam or spiritual leader of the Shia Ismaili Muslims.
Early stages of construction began in the summer of 2016 and the new garden is scheduled to open in time for the Aga Khan’s diamond jubilee celebrations in July 20
