Thank you for your interest in the Garden.May is a lovely time to visit - the Garden is truly starting to springing to life. The leaves are out, the grass is greening up, and the early blooming perennials are out. We don't plant out our annual flower displays until early June because of frost risk, but there is still lots to see in a beautiful setting, including the Kurimoto Japanese Garden and the indoor showhouses and butterfly house. I hope you enjoy your visit.

Thank you for your interest in the Garden.

Thank you for your interest in the Garden. An extensive brick pathway system makes much of the Garden accessible and enjoyable from wheelchairs and strollers. Some pathways have less accessible surfaces (grass, wood chips, gravel, uneven surfaces, natural areas), and there are some areas with steep grades where assistance is recommended for wheelchairs. I hope this information helps!

We hope you enjoy the wedding! There is no charge for guests of wedding parties - admission for guests is included in our wedding packages.

There are many benches throughout the Garden, as well as a Patio Cafe and picnic tables.

Hello, and thank you for your interest in the Devonian Botanic Garden. While the peak outdoor blooming season is typically mid-June through August, there is beauty to be found in the Garden in all seasons. Early May is an unpredictable time in terms of weather and plant growth in our Zone 3 region. This year, we have had a record-breaking warm spring and many plants that would normally bloom in June are already looking great in the first week of May. In colder years, this might not be the case. What we love about May is the sight of the season's fresh green leaves unfurling, perennials poking their heads out of the ground, geese on the ponds and the arrival of the exotic butterflies in the Tropical Showhouse. The Kurimoto Japanese Garden is always gorgeous. We hope you can come and enjoy early spring at the Garden!

Thanks for your interest in the Garden. With the unseasonably warm weather this spring, our apple trees blossoms are starting to open early, and we expect that they'll be in full bloom on Mother's Day weekend. Hope you get a chance to come out and enjoy the Garden!
