Fleurs de Villes Ontario 2025 at Royal Botanical Gardens

This September, Ontario’s Royal Botanical Gardens (RBG) will be transformed into a scene straight out of the early 20th century, as Fleurs de Villes in Ontario Downton Abbey arrives with a breathtaking floral celebration.

Running from September 12 to 21, 2025, this limited-time event promises an unforgettable blend of floral artistry, fashion, and storytelling—making it one of the most anticipated cultural highlights of the year.

A Floral Tribute to a Beloved Series

Downton Abbey has captivated audiences around the world with its tales of the aristocratic Crawley family and their devoted household staff.

At Fleurs de Villes, these beloved characters and their timeless style are reimagined in a spectacular new form—through flowers.

Visitors will encounter 15 one-of-a-kind floral mannequins, each designed by top floral artists from Southern Ontario.

From Lady Mary’s glamorous gowns and statement hats to the perfectly tailored uniforms of the household staff, every detail is brought to life with fresh blooms.

These living floral sculptures are more than displays—they are works of art that merge history, fashion, and horticulture in ways that leave guests truly mesmerized.

More Than an Exhibition

Beyond the mannequins, Fleurs de Villes offers an immersive experience for flower enthusiasts and Downton Abbey fans alike.

Daily JARDIN workshops and demonstrations bring floral artistry to life, with sessions on English country bouquets, Downton-inspired tablescapes, and vintage compote arrangements.

Guests can also enjoy fascinating talks on RBG’s heritage gardens, themed cocktail sessions, and creative floral showcases that highlight the artistry behind the blooms.

And for a truly indulgent touch, afternoon tea at the Turner Pavilion Teahouse offers a Downton-style dining experience.

Reservations are required, but it’s the perfect way to end a day of floral wonder—sipping tea and savoring treats as though you were seated in the Crawleys’ own dining room.

A Day at the Royal Botanical Gardens

The exhibition takes place indoors at the RBG Centre in Burlington, Ontario, with ticketed access also including Hendrie Park. This allows visitors to enjoy both the immersive Downton Abbey floral showcase and the natural beauty of Canada’s most renowned botanical garden.

Admission is time-ticketed, starting at $25 for adults, with discounts for children, students, and seniors.
