Okanagan Garden Tours:
British Columbia, Canada

ELYSIUM Gardens encompasses approximately 4 acres of perennial display gardens and a Japanese inspired garden. It is available for group or self-guided garden tours, garden weddings and photography. A unique perennial nursery offers many of the plants you see as you tour the gardens. The gardens are both instructional and inspirational. Each area is home to a broad selection of uncommon and familiar perennials, ornamental grasses, shrubs and trees. The gardens are meticulously maintained organically and great care is taken to conserve water and encourage wildlife.

Enjoy the unobstructed views of surrounding pastoral countryside from a hand-crafted chapel-like gazebo which overlooks the gardens. Relax in the shade of pergolas covered with climbing roses and clematis.

Meander among formal and informal designed gardens, sun and shade borders, herb gardens, rose, peony, daylily and iris displays, xeriscape (water efficient) gardens, rockery and scree beds. Share our obsession for David Austin's English own-root roses, herbaceous,tree & Itoh peonies. Exquisite ornamental grasses are throughout the gardens.

Fragrance fills the air... It is a Shangri-la for birds and butterflies.

"Hi Sho En" ~ A Japanese Inspired Garden.

Since ancient times, Japanese garden design has been an expression
of the natural world and mans relationship to it.

"Hi Sho En" demonstrates the Kare San Sui (Dry Mountain Water)
which is generally referred to as a Zen Garden
and the Kare Taki (Dry Waterfall) style of Japanese garden design.

Informative Guided Tours are available
at times other than our posted Tours
by prior arrangement for groups of 10 or more.
