Peak Bloom Season at the Arboretum
Event Description
The Arboretum is home to our flowering tree collections, including flowering cherry, magnolia, and lilac, and is a popular destination for members and public visitors alike.
In reaction to record crowds last year, we’re adjusting the visiting process for this bloom season at the Arboretum. New this year, we are introducing members-only parking on peak weekends with shuttles available for non-members.
Paid admission not required for visiting the Arboretum. Paid parking OR paid shuttle ticket (pre-purchased) applies.
Looking to join us before May 10? Simply arrive at the Arboretum and pay at the gate / scan your member parking card!
Let’s plan your visit! Are you a current RBG Member or a visitor?
NOTE: available blooms vary. Check out rbg.ca/whatsinbloom for updates.
