VanDusen activities
Visitors at VanDusen can expect to see fresh floral mannequins and spectacular installations, inspired by timeless traditions from around the world. Hence the tour’s name – VOYAGE.
The floral trail will begin with a beautiful archway and wind its way through the garden pathways. Fresh floral installations will be crafted by the city’s top floral artists. As well, there will be a fun children’s discovery trail, and live entertainment to check out.
In terms of refreshments, guests can sip on both alcoholic and non-alcoholic floral beverages at the on-site pop-up cafe. And for a bite to eat, guests can purchase a picnic or floral high tea at Truffles’ Garden Cafe.
