Royal Botanical Gardens
Is it spring yet? No, but it’s quickly approaching. This is a comforting thought for everyone interested in visiting the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton, Ontario. A series of beautiful gardens will be on display, as they are each year, for the public to enjoy. Fresh scents of spring and flowers fill the air and everyone walking through looks just a little happier about their lives. If you feel like it’s been a long winter, you’re not the only one. We’ve been waiting patiently – ok, not so patiently – for the 2018 grand opening of the Royal Botanical Gardens.
The best time to visit the Botanical Gardens is on a sunny day, the day or afternoon after a little rain. This is when the gardens are the most beautiful because the soil and plants have replenished themselves with water and nutrients. The sun comes and gives the plants the rest of their energy. Just like people, the flowers thrive when given water, fresh air, and the right amount of sun.
If the warm months are too far away and you want to visit the Royal Botanical Gardens, we have good and bad news for you. First: the bad news. The gardens are located outdoors so they are only open in the spring and in the summer. The good – even great – news is that wintertime for the Royal Botanical Gardens means a time to visit unique exhibitions. For example, this year from January 20th to April 15th you can visit RBG to enjoy the aesthetically astonishing, unique sounding, and oddly appealing… FROGS! We bet there are more to the life of frogs than you had ever thought possible. Visit the Royal Botanical Gardens before the end of this exhibition to see exactly what we mean!
