The best time to visit the Montreal Botanical Garden is in the months of May through October. Note the Gardens of Light festival is held in the months of September and October.
The Montréal Botanical Garden has twenty different themed outdoor gardens. Don’t miss the stunning flowers in the exhibition greenhouses! That’s exactly where I was heading on an icy cold day in March to enjoy the tropical plants, the cacti, and the stunning, beautiful orchids. The exhibition greenhouses are open year-round and are a great way to get your flower fix during Montréal’s winters!
Exhibition Greenhouses.
These are one of the highlights of the Montreal Botanical Garden. The ten exhibition greenhouses make up one long interconnected building. Each of the greenhouses is set to the conditions needed to best nurture the plants. Some are very dry, some are humid, and some are continually being misted.
From the hospitality greenhouse, if you turn left, you head to the drier zones. Head right to visit the humid greenhouses, such as the tropical rainforest, orchid, and fern greenhouses.
Layover in Montreal
Traveling always presents challenges…What to do when you have a 22-hour layover in Montreal? Book a hotel, get up early, and take an Uber to the Montreal Botanical Garden, otherwise known as Le Jardin Botanique de Montréal…after all, it is in the French-speaking province of Quebec.
More Reasons to Visit in Winter
Although the garden is located at the heart of the city, there is ample room to enjoy another cherished local winter activity, cross-country skiing! The garden includes approximately 3km of groomed cross-country ski trails. Moreover, you can head next door into Parc de Maisonneuve to continue your ski along additional trails. Trails are groomed after enough new snow has fallen, so the best time to ski is a day or two after the last snowfall.
