Owensboro is an absolutely gorgeous city to visit in the springtime. We are famous for our pink and white dogwood trees you can find blooming all across the city. You’ll find hundreds and hundreds of beautifully bright azalea bushes, along with fields and sidewalks lined with daffodils. It’s truly a floral paradise here March through May.
Because of all that beauty, we created a list of some of the best places you can find the flowers blooming this year!
Western Kentucky Botanical Garden is a top spot for viewing flowers in peak blooming season. There are so many different types of flowers, plants and trees in bloom at the Botanical Gardens that we couldn’t even begin to name them all–you just gotta trust us when we say, it’s worth it. Admission is free to members, $8 for adults and $2 for children.
Reid’s Orchard has its very own flower garden (Katie’s U-Pick Flower Garden) where you can pick your own flowers at a very affordable price. This garden is fully stocked each year with a gorgeous variety of zinnias, snapdragons, sunflowers and salvia, among many others.
Cecil Farms Produce has its own variety of flower gardens and it’s very own greenhouse to boot! Run by Katie Ann Flowers, you can not only see the flowers growing in their natural environment outside, but you can purchase many of the plants and flowers from the greenhouse!
You can find daffodils and other wildflowers bloom all spring at many of our parks, including Yellow Creek Park, Panther Creek Park and Ben Hawes Park.
