Niagara's Floral Show House

Niagara's Floral Show House

6. Get thee to a greenhouse!

When it’s frosty outside, it’s a tropical paradise inside a greenhouse or conservatory. Here in Toronto there are several indoor gardens, including Allan Gardens in the heart of the city, the Cloud Forest Conservatory to the west of the downtown core and Centennial Park Conservatory in Etobicoke. Outside of town, one of the hidden gems in Niagara Falls is the Floral Showhouse which I only discovered this past summer. The seasonal shows here are spectacular, and from January to Easter the floral display includes colourful primulas, calceolaria, cyclamen, cineraria, schizanthus, forced bulbs and shrubs. So, banish winter with a walk through a conservatory.
