Greater Victoria Flower Count

It's the last day of Flower Count 🎉

Are you going outside for a flower stroll today? We are currently witnessing a fierce blossom battle between Victoria and Esquimalt. The gardening gloves are off! 🧤

You have until 4PM today to submit your count - it may just be the perfect day to go check out a local public garden! Here are our top picks on why they call us the Garden City:

🌹 The Butchart Gardens (pictured here)
💐 Abkhazi Garden
🌼 Beacon Hill Park
🎍Finnerty Gardens at University of Victoria
🌸 The Gardens at HCP
🪻 Hatley Gardens at Royal Roads University

Did you know? This year's Flower Count coincides with the launch of a fundraising program to help sustain Victoria's iconic hanging flower baskets 🧺🌺

The Hanging Basket Donation Program provides a voluntary way for residents, businesses and organizations to help maintain this longstanding tradition and brighten our downtown streets. Donations can be made at the Destination Greater Victoria Visitor Centre (812 Wharf Street), online through victoria.ca, or in-person at City Hall (1 Centennial Square). Learn more about how you can contribute at flowercount.com or victoria.ca! 💐
