Things to do in Kelowna, Okanagan Valley: The Best Gardens

August 24, 2021 Stefan Strunk

Located on the sunny Lake Okanagan, Kelowna offers a cure for whatever ails you. Spend the weekend golfing, relaxing on the beach or exploring a nature trail. The Okanagan Valley is chock-full of orchards, while many local vineyards offer wine tasting and tours. Stop at the mid-19th-century Father Pandosy Mission for a glimpse of Kelowna's history, then plan a moonlit cruise on the lake to end your day.

Kasugai Japanese Garden

Reviewed By natalliao2018

A bit tricky to find, this little gem of a park is truly the best spot in downtown Kelowna! It's a tranquil, beautifully designed, well maintained respite from the hustle and bustle of the lake shore crowds. Lovely koi pond, elegant bridges, delicate colour play of all the various foliage, bonsai trees in various stages of cultivation - lots of photo opportunities, especially with the intricate light of a sunset. No corner left unattended - everything is lovingly thought through, down to the ground-covering ivy. Make sure you take a free brochure that will explain what kinds of plants and trees you encounter: fascinating and educational. Lots of benches provided: I may be tempted to bring a tea and a book here next time. At any rate, I shall make it my mandatory stop in Kelowna from now on!
