Join us this May as we return to VanDusen Botanical Garden with all-new show Fleurs de Villes WONDER, a fresh floral celebration of the awe-inspiring natural wonders of our world.
On display from May 22 - 31, stroll through the garden and discover over 20 exquisite floral mannequins and installations inspired by nature’s most extraordinary marvels, from iconic natural landmarks and diverse ecosystems to rare botanical treasures and dazzling natural phenomena. Created by talented local floral artists, each one-of-a-kind botanical installation will showcase the beauty of the natural world in spectacular couture floral artistry—inviting visitors to pause, reflect, and rediscover the wonder that surrounds us.
As you explore the beautiful floral trail throughout VanDusen Botanical Garden, be sure to capture memorable photos at our giant floral butterfly wings inspired by Cirque du Soleil’s new LUZIA show. Stop by the pop-up selfie spot hosted by Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, where you can also enjoy their house-made scones, available May 23 and 24. Then, unwind at Flowers Make Us Happy Hour Monday to Friday from 3–5 p.m. at Shaughnessy Restaurant, featuring botanical cocktails and a floral-inspired menu by Chef Pavlo Onopriienko*.
*Closed May 23 (AM), May 24 (PM), and May 31 (PM).
