Nice and relaxing place. Great place for a little picnic. Nice maintained. Will come back. Nice place to read a book.
I had never been to Park & Tilford Gardens before, so wasn't sure what to expect, but took my daughter just before Christmas to see their spectacular light display. It was quite amazing. The entire garden was decked out in Christmas lights. My daughter LOVED it. It may be smaller than Van Dusen, but if you are in the area it is well worth the visit at Christmas time with the kids.
A wonderful place to make memories, take photos and enjoy the wonderful variety of plants... beautiful rose garden.
Pretty little garden that you wouldn't expect to see at a shipping centre.very nice for family outing at xmas. More for the local community not really a tourist attraction. Nice to share with visiting relatives. Nice to have, people's hard work shows.
This is a lovely lovely venue in both summer and winterMy Fav time is at Christmas when it is all lite upWinter Wonderland
The parking Tilford gardens were constructed has a little escape for staff who used to work at a brewery located on the land where the shopping center is now. The shopping center is in an L-shaped and in the corner is the gardens. As soon as you enter the gardens you forget what you have just left. There are flowers blooming from spring until fall and the people who take care of the gardens do an incredible job of keeping things in bloom all throughout the season. At Christmas the gardens are lit up with Christmas lights in a huge array of color and light. There is a whole section in the gardens that is a Japanese garden and is totally different from the rest of the gardens. As well there is a whole section of the gardens that are different from the rest in that it is a Rosegarden. It really must be visited because you just don't even know that it exists. And because you don't know that it exists the same is true when you enter the gardens you forget everything else outside. It's quite the little gem in North Vancouver.
I thought Park & Tilford was an intersection. Oops! Small and compact, tucked away in a corner of a small mall, it is a quiet respite for anyone. I'm glad I stopped by.
These gardens are decorated so beautifully around Christmas time...it reminds me of a fantasy walk as seen at Disney Land... no admission, no lineup...just a peaceful walk through the gardens can take 5 minutes or 20 depending on how long you want to spend.
If you are in the area and you wanna spend few minutes walkinf in a small but nice garden, go there. May you can have a sit a read a book for awhile. But I wouldn't go if you have to drive for more than few miles. Nothing special at all.
Its like a little secret garden for family or individuals. Great for kids to explore. In the right season, it's a great place to take family photos. The one drawback is that it backs on to a noisy street.If you're at Park & Tilford it is worth a visit.
