Erikson’s Daylily Gardens and Perennials

The gardens will be in bloom with over 2,500 varieties of daylilies, 650 varieties of hosta and much more.  Again this year, the Langley daylily club will have their draw table with lots of wonderful donated prizes from local merchants, including the Otter Co-op, Bonetti Meats, JD Turkey Farm, Krause Farms, Well Seasoned Gourmet Shop, Cedarbrook Bakery and many others.

Harpist Judy Henry will be there to play soft music for your enjoyment from 11 am to 3 pm each day, and the garden’s cafe will be full of coffees, homemade treats and jams for purchase to help support the Surrey Cat Coalition.

Admission is by donation with gate proceeds donated to the BC Children’s Hospital.

The gardens, being private, are not wheelchair, stroller or walker accessible due to uneven ground and narrow pathways. Please be sure to wear good strolling shoes.

Children are welcome but they must be with adults at all times as there is a pond and since hybridizing is in progress many plants in the garden cannot be touched or picked.

To ensure comfort and enjoyment for everyone, the garden does not permit smoking or vaping and no pets are allowed.
