The Floral Clock is a large outdoor clock with a diameter of about 40 feet (12 meters). It features a mechanism similar to that of a traditional clock, but the face is adorned with a colorful and intricate design made entirely of flowers and plants. The clock's design changes seasonally, with the flowers and plants being replaced to create new patterns and images.
The clock's face is made up of thousands of carefully arranged plants and flowers, including annuals and perennials. The intricate designs may include geometric patterns, floral motifs, or other creative arrangements, depending on the season and the horticultural theme chosen.
The Floral Clock requires regular maintenance to ensure the accuracy of the time and the vibrancy of the floral display. Horticulturists and gardeners work to plant and maintain the clock's intricate floral patterns, making it an ever-changing and visually appealing attraction. The Floral Clock has become a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors who appreciate both the horticultural artistry and the scenic surroundings of the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens.
