Annual Chrysanthemum Show at the Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse

Niagara Falls, ON –The annual Chrysanthemum Show is currently showcasing the magnificent colours of fall at The Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse. The show features shades of yellow, gold and bronze along with pinks and white. The displays are a combination of cascading varieties in baskets, pillars and pyramids. Equally impressive are the single stem Exhibition types, some with individual bloom diameters of over 8" across. Combined with the bush varieties, the Floral Showhouse is full of the colours of fall.

This year the Floral Showhouse is also proud to display one of the most diverse and colourful Orchid displays, with close to 50 different species being shown. For Orchid lovers, this is a show not to miss!

The Niagara Parks’ Floral Showhouse has been a natural highlight for gardeners and visitors to Niagara Falls for over 60 years. Plants from all around the world set among waterfalls and pools, turtles, goldfish and the over 70 free flying tropical songbirds add to the delight of this hidden gem at Niagara Parks.

As the weather gets cooler, Niagara Parks encourage all to come and experience our indoor floral display. The Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse is free to all visitors and open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Floral Showhouse is owned and operated by The Niagara Parks Commission. Niagara Parks is an Agency of the Government of Ontario that has preserved and maintained the parklands and attractions surrounding the Falls without tax dollars since 1885.
