6 places to see gorgeous blooming flowers this spring in Edmonton

Though we may not have cherry blossom trees full of early spring flowers like Vancouver, Edmonton is home to its own fruit-bearing trees that are equally as stunning once they bloom.

Each year around the May Long Weekend, Edmonton’s crab apple trees put on a gorgeous natural display. Not only are they a treat to look at, but those photos also look pretty good on the ‘gram.

Here are some areas in Edmonton where you can check out those beautiful blooming flowers this spring:
