If you’re in the Niagara area and want to see something completely different, this is what you are looking for! The Floral Clock in Niagara is a unique clock, in that its face is entirely floral!
The Floral Clock is 40 feet wide, with a planted area 38 feet wide, making it one of the largest such clocks in the world. Each year, the face of the clock is filled with 15,000 to 20,000 carpet plants and colourful annuals, planted in unique, intricate designs. Since 1977 The Niagara Parks Commission Horticulture Department (now Parks Department) have been responsible for designing and planting the face of the Clock and a site maintenance worker regularly checks the official time to ensure the Clock’s accuracy.

This location is a brilliant place to visit if you’re doing a drive round the Niagara Parks in general – you can tag a nice photo opportunity here onto a visit to Fort George and Queenston Heights – both places we will be adding to our site in the next few months!

While you’re admiring the clock, dont forget to look around – at the Hydro plant, as well as the small park area behind you – if you look for long enough – you may be lucky enough like we were to meet one of its residents!
