What can you say about a city that is home to Canada’s largest botanical garden, The Royal Botanical Gardens? The RBG, as it is fondly referred to, was built during the Great depression in the 1930’s as a way for people to be distracted from the impending doom. The once derelict and ignored land was beautified into what became one of the world’s most beautiful gardens. It showcases resourcefulness at its best, for instance a shabby and rather unsightly rock quarry was turned into the spectacularly breathtaking Rock Garden. That the city loves its flowers, there’s no doubt about!
Each year the RBG organizes many a events to showcase the beauty of the wonders that blossom in its several hundred acres. Each month is devoted to a certain flower and a small, well not-so-small, flower show is organized. A mini flower festival of sorts. All the flowers, be it the roses or the Orchids, the Tulips and the Irises are proudly displayed. Besides the Flower Shows, the RBG organizes various other events every month, like the Chess club, the health and wellness shows, organic food festival and what not. Little wonder then why it continues to be the most frequented Burlington haunt, by tourists and citizens alike.
