Was it worth the drive to Burlington? I guess. The RBG was alright but you have to go during the…read moreright time. We went when the cherry blossoms were beginning to bloom but it was a tad bit early for the other floral arrangements to bloom in their outdoor gardens so it still felt winter-like. We started at one location early in the morning with the Arboretum. That's where you pay $25 to drive your vehicle in. Parking is ample early in the morning but when we left an hour or two later, there was a conga line of vehicles waiting to get in. So, yes you have to be there at least at around 8 AM if you don't want to wait in line or find parking. Parking is free at the main RBG region with their inside greenhouse region plus their outside garden. What I didn't like was that you had to drive out afterwards to go to the Rock Garden where you had to show your tickets again for entrance. Parking was still free though. So, overall, a lot of driving from one location to another (at least three) and a lot of walking. If you want to bring slow-walking seniors, good luck. It's beautiful scenery but a lot of walking involved.

As I was following the trail on Google Maps, I found that I could get on the trail from the Humber Arboretum. The arboretum is massive. It's well-kept with plenty of greenery mixed in with bright reds, yellows, and purples. There were a few groups taking wedding photos when I visited and I felt out of place in shorts and a tshirt. It's absolutely beautiful here and is a refreshing oasis from the surrounding concrete jungle. There are only 4 parking spots here, so if you visit please don't take up multiple spots. Due to poor parking skills of other visitors, I ended up driving to the Humberwood Library and walking back. The hike took me along the West Humber Trail, but I ended up getting a bit lost walking back to the arboretum. The trail is nicely paved and is well-suited for bicycles.

I've stopped here twice, but both times, it wasn't open until TODAY. Probably about 1000sq', this place is not really a replacement to Royal Botanical Garden, but is more like a refuge / good place to read a book / catch up with a friend. Aside from that, you won't be spending too long here, maybe 10mins to do a once around to look at the various plants. I wanted to put up this listing so that more people will know about this place. Currently, it's open 7 days/week, 9-3pm.

I was a little disappointed when I went on June 10, 2025 because most of the flowers are gone, and just a lot of greens + leaves and a lot of cactus lol. I was expecting more flowers because this place was called Floral Showhouse. It would give it that the indoor space and outdoor grounds were well-maintained, and the staff at the admission desk/cashier was friendly and welcoming. I agree with one of the Yelpers that this place should not be a stand alone attraction. The parking was $36, and the admission was $8+tax per person. The indoor greenhouses opened to public was limited to 2 rooms, plus an outdoor garden. We were pretty much done viewing in less than an hour. There was a souvenir area, which was the saving grace because we found some pretty unique gifts.
