News from Ontario’s Niagara Parks Commission
(A Note from NAL – The Niagara Parks Commission presides over green, landscape jewels of space along the Canadian side of one of the world’s most scenic rivers. Support it and support parks efforts on the American side of this great waterway too.)
Niagara Falls, Ontario – The Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse is currently featuring one of its seasonal specialties, the annual Hydrangea Display, with their gigantic spheres of colour. Among this year’s features are enormous hanging baskets – some over five feet wide, overflowing with colourful Hydrangeas.

In addition, forced Foxglove and Delphinium will complete the spectacular display of blues, pinks and whites within the Showhouse. All the blooms are close to their peak right now, and a visit to the Floral Showhouse is a great way to enjoy the beauty of the season. The Hydrangea Show will run until early June, when staff will begin working on the next popular display: Regal Geraniums.
Flying through the warm and inviting Floral Showhouse are dozens of tropical birds that will sing for your entertainment. Outside the Showhouse in the Artists’ Garden, the Magnolias are at their peak and the tulips are beginning to open. The enchanting walk along the garden with its fountain and pool is a delightful secret to visitors of the Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse
