Kasugai Gardens to reopen

It's a sure sign of spring in Kelowna.

Kasugai Garden Park will reopen for the season on Thursday.

The popular downtown gardens will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Victoria Day weekend, after which hours will extend to 8 p.m.

The tranquil Japanese gardens were completed in 1987 to symbolize Kelowna's sister city relationship with Kasugai, Japan.

With the last of the snow melting away, Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery is also extending visiting hours.

The gates will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week beginning Friday.

To allow for grounds maintenance, only fresh cut flowers, wreaths or other natural floral offerings may be placed on grave sites within lawn areas. Family and friends whose custom it is to place a stone on memorial markers may do so, however the stones will be removed by staff prior to the next scheduled mowing. Candles are not permitted as the open flame poses a potential fire hazard.
