The annual Christmas display at the Niagara Parks Floral Showcase
just above the falls is now on. This free exhibition consists of the
traditional red, white and pink Poinsettias as well as many unusual
varieties and forms grown by NPC gardeners at the greenhouse.
Cyclamen, Azaleas, Christmas Cactus and Narcissus round out the
display. You’ll also find the greenhouse adorned with lights, garland,
and a beautiful nativity scene. The exhibition remains open daily from
9:30 am until 7:30 pm. Closed on Christmas Day and earlier on New
Years Eve.
Originally, the Floral Showcase was called the Niagara Parks
Greenhouse. This lovely spacious greenhouse was originally built in
1946 in an area referred to as,"The Flats". I can remember when a
new addition was built in 1980 to house large glorious Palm trees in
the foyer of the building. The Palm trees are still here and now almost
reach the top of the top of the glass ceiling.
If you’re not yet in the holiday spirit a visit here will be sure to get you
into the mood.
