The show is now ready, just in time for Palm Sunday. The popular addition of real chicks and bunnies will also return, which is a treat for kids and adults alike.
The Easter show features a cross display of lilies surrounded by colourful and fragrant spring flowers such as daffodils, tulips, hyacinths and azaleas. The warm and serene setting is bursting with gorgeous blooms, orchids and exotic tropical plants as well as beautiful songbirds to get you in the mood for spring.
The displays in the popular greenhouses are regularly changed for visitors’ enjoyment, with eight seasonal plant exhibitions that are carefully grown and professionally displayed, along with a large permanent tropical plant collection. The expanded “Shop in the Garden” also includes a café area where visitors may enjoy light refreshments and shop for unique garden gifts.
Admission to this facility is $5 and all monies generated are reinvested into the maintenance and care of the magnificent conservatory and surrounding gardens, as well as into additional programming and new exhibits. For an additional $5, residents of Ontario may upgrade to a season’s pass, to return as often as they like as the displays are changed throughout the year.
Located just south of the Falls on the Niagara Parkway in Niagara Falls, Ontario, the Floral Showhouse is open each day from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Paid parking is available on site.
The Niagara Parks Commission is committed to a vision of Ontario’s Niagara Parks as one which Preserves a rich heritage, Conserves natural wonders, and Inspires people world-wide. Founded in 1885, NPC is an Operational Enterprise Agency of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. Its mission is to protect the natural and cultural heritage along the Niagara River for the enjoyment of visitors while maintaining financial self-sufficiency.
