We are thrilled to return to Vancouver this spring for the Canadian premiere of Fleurs de Villes Downton Abbey, presented by Oakridge Park – a spectacular fresh floral celebration inspired by the famed period drama, created by Vancouver’s talented floral artists.
Join us at VanDusen Botanical Garden from May 23 - June 1 and step into the world of Downton Abbey. Be transported to early 20th-century England, where the aristocratic Crawley family and their devoted staff navigate a rapidly changing era.
Presented by Oakridge Park, this immersive experience will feature a curated collection of one-of-a-kind fresh floral mannequins inspired by the series’ unforgettable characters and iconic period fashion. From Lady Mary’s sophisticated beaded gowns and statement hats, to the impeccably tailored uniforms of the household staff, each floral masterpiece will bring Downton Abbey’s timeless style and compelling narratives to life.
Watch floral demonstrations, sip botanical cocktails, visit the weekend flower market, capture your experience at the gardens and receive a printed photograph at the Oakridge Park’s photobooth. Don’t forget to vote for your favourite mannequin for a chance to win a $1,500 Oakridge Park shopping spree and a beautiful $250 floral bouquet.
Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the refined elegance and captivating drama of Downton Abbey brought to life through exquisite floral artistry, in celebration of the upcoming release of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, only in theaters September 12.
