6 places to see gorgeous blooming flowers this spring in Edmonton

Posted on

Though we may not have cherry blossom trees full of early spring flowers like Vancouver, Edmonton is home to its own fruit-bearing trees that are equally as stunning once they bloom.

Each year around the May Long Weekend, Edmonton’s crab apple trees put on a gorgeous natural display. Not only are they a treat to look at, but those photos also look pretty good on the ‘gram.

Here are some areas in Edmonton where you can check out those beautiful blooming flowers this spring:

Henrietta Muir Edwards Park

This gorgeous, tranquil park in the valley is located along the North Saskatchewan River and near the Muttart Conservatory. It’s one of Edmonton’s best-known spots to see the gorgeous blooming trees.

Address: 9704 98th Avenue

Rossdale Park

Across the river from Henrietta Muir Edwards Park is Rossdale Park, another fantastic spot to check out all the spring flowers. Enjoy stunning views of the Fairmont Hotel MacDonald and Edmonton’s river valley from this gorgeous setting.

U of A Botanical Gardens

The Kurimoto Japanese Garden inside the U of A Botanical Gardens is a breathtaking spot to check out all the blossoming trees this spring. Located just a short drive southwest of the city, this is a stop you’ll certainly want to make.
