Lilac Forest Walkabout Experience · May 23-24

Arts & Culture
When:Sunday, May 24, 2026at 11am-6:30pm
Location:6400 Concession Road 2, Stella ON, K0H 2S0
Organizer:Rossland Gardens Amherst Island
Category:Arts & Culture

Each spring, for a brief moment, the lilac forest at Rossland Gardens comes into bloom. Visitors are invited to wander beneath thousands of flowering lilacs, surrounded by fragrance, birdsong, and the quiet atmosphere of the island landscape. The walkabout is self-guided and designed to be experienced slowly — a chance to reconnect with nature and spend time in a uniquely peaceful setting. This is a free, inclusive event and everyone is warmly welcome.

We are offering lilac bouquets and small batch lilac jelly during the event. Reserving these on our website ahead of time is highly recommended.
