Sweet Spring at Greendale Acres

Greendale Acres is a farm in the Fraser Valley. It’s located at 41905 Yale Road West in Chilliwack. The farm hosts various events throughout the year. For example, there’s the Chilliwack Plowing Match in early April, Easter-themed celebrations on the Easter Long Weekend, and also Sweet Spring from April to May. Other events include the Chilliwack Corn Maze from August until October and Christmas at Greendale Acres over the holiday season.

The Sweet Spring Flower Festival is a wonderful event for all ages. There are colourful flower beds with more than 120,000 bulbs to check out. What’s more, the place is full of fun activities for children.

While the flower gardens at the Sweet Spring event aren’t as big as the fields of tulips at other festivals in the Fraser Valley, the flowers at Greendale Acres are planted in unique patterns. There are also many more things to do at the farm, especially for kids. In fact, if you have young children or grandchildren, Sweet Spring is arguably the best flower festival in BC. Other flower festivals might have millions more flowers. Sweet Spring, however, because of all the fun play structures and games, will probably be your children’s favourite!

During Sweet Spring visitors get to interact with farm animals. There’s also a hay bale maze and a big jumping pillow, along with a pedal cart track and various play structures for children.
