Gardens
Flowers
The city of Chilliwack comes alive as its gardens blossom and bloom throughout the seasons. Wander elegant landscapes, take in a variety of flowers or be inspired at a garden centre.
Minter Gardens is considered the crown jewel among Chilliwack's gardens and city parks. Located near Exit 135 off the Trans-Canada Highway, these privately operated, 13ha/32ac show gardens are sometimes compared to the world-famous Butchart Gardens in Victoria. Created by passionate gardener Brian Minter, Minter Gardens opened in 1980 and attracts more than 100,000 visitors a year.
Minter Gardens
Against the backdrop of 2,130m/7,000ft Mt. Cheam, wander through Minter Gardens to discover 12 different themed gardens, including an enormous rose garden (there are more than 750 rose plants at Minter Gardens), a lake garden, scent garden, children's garden, arbour garden, and formal garden.

Azaleas and rhododendrons flourish in spring, while late-blooming perennials delight in September and October.
The landscaping frequently and elegantly incorporates water features, from a pond beneath Japanese maple trees to the big Water Wall at the end of the Arbour Walk, with water tumbling from an aqueduct with classical columns.
Minter Gardens is open daily between April and mid-October.
Dining and Garden Centre
A sumptuous buffet lunch is served at Minter Gardens’ Trillium Restaurant in high season, and casual fare is available at the Garden Café in the Envision Conservatory. Minter Gardens is a popular venue for weddings, garden parties, and other events.
The nearby Minter Country Garden Centre (10015 Young Rd) sells a huge array of specialty garden products on a site featuring a nature park and huge greenhouses.
