Tulip Time

April 16, 2007 - Over the next two weeks thousands of tulips will burst into bloom throughout the major parks in Vancouver. This affords residents a timely opportunity to see firsthand new varieties and combinations perfect for the home garden or patio planter. If you see a variety you must know more about, contact the number below and staff will get back to you with the tulip information requested.

The Vancouver Park Board has been importing these colourful harbingers of Spring for over half a century. Cool and wet conditions in March mean that this year's show will be lush and a little later.

Combine an Active Communities walk or run while checking out the following locations over the next two weeks for great tulip displays. There is no better combination than a healthy activity mixed with wonderful horticultural highlights!

Stanley Park Rose Garden
English Bay Planters (near the English Bay Bathhouse)
Queen Elizabeth Park Quarry Gardens
VanDusen Botanical Garden
Morton Triangle at English Bay
