Spring is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful times of the year in Vancouver, with thousands of hydrated plants and pops of colour springing to life. From blossoming cherry trees to daffodils, roses, and tulips, BC is blessed with them all. And fortunately, there are a handful of flower farms in the area that allow you to get up close and personal with the bulbs – some with u-pick options available!
So without further ado, here are some beautiful flower farms to check out near Vancouver this spring.
Lakeland Flowers
We’re starting off with one of the biggest names in the game, and the host of Abbotsford’s annual Tulip Fest. Aside from perusing over 70 stunning tulip varieties this spring, visitors at Lakeland Flowers can enjoy fields of peonies, lavender, sunflowers, and more this summer.

And from July to October, you can even pick your own sweet peas, zinnias, sunflowers, snapdragons, and dahlias! The farm offers two-hour-long workshops with on-site flower farmers to help teach visitors how to pick and care for different varieties, upon which time guests are free to wander the fields.
