Cancel your weekend plans because the laburnum is in bloom at VanDusen Botanical Garden.
Once you walk into the garden, make a left and you’ll find its stunning laburnum path. When they’re in bloom, they create a surreal canopy of yellow flowers that you can walk under like a tunnel.

Walking along the path, with purple chives and bluebells popping up from the ground and yellow blossoms dangling from above, you might feel like you’re in an episode of Bridgerton.
A rep from VanDusen told Daily Hive that the laburnums are a bit late to bloom this year because it’s been so cold. As of May 30, they are almost in full bloom, with still some budding blossoms on the way.

You can follow the garden on Instagram for more updates, but you should get there ASAP so you can capture the trees in all their glory.
This pathway is very popular, so if you are really determined to have it (mostly) to yourself to take photos, try aiming to take your photos either right at opening or at around 4 pm for some good lighting.
