TRU Horticultural Gardens - Kamloops, British Columbia

My husband and I aren't usually ones to write a bad review.
But this was not worth $30. We went during fall, so we weren't expecting lots of flowers. Obviously not as nice, but our own fault. So that wasn't an issue. However, the upkeep was just non existent. So much over grow and many weeds. It was actually crazy we spent so much to look at a garden and there wasn't a single landscaper taking care of it. The only time we saw an employee was because a tree fell over the maze and they were there to shut it down.
Which was also a huge let down. A big attraction and we weren't able to complete it, as the tree fell literally right at the end of the maze (at the center)
We actually got to the part where the tree Fell, and it literally looked like the maze shrub was growing into the tree, so no idea how long it's been fallen.
It just felt like there was absolutely no care at all. The water was full of leaves and needles that the water falls didn't work. My husband literally cleared it for them.
Look, I'm not expecting them to have a perfect garden, it is huge. However we didn't see a single employee taking care of the area. So disappointing and worth more like $5 a person.

This is a GREAT option for a summer wedding here in Kamloops! As a wedding photographer, I love the greenery and flowers surrounding the gardens and the photo ops all around the campus. Highly recommend for a wedding venue!

It's 14 degrees out at 6pm, so it's only going to get colder from here, and the ground is wet from rain. Luckily, there are some benches covered by large, leafy trees. Somehow, most of the flowers are clinging to life, and doing a fine job of it. The garden is still colourful, which is nice against the backdrop of grey clouds. You can hear police sirens, which aren't exactly uncommon in Kamloops in general.

If i can enjoy it on a kinda-crappy day, then the place isn't half bad.

A smaller garden but w great little place to explore. A wonderful place for pictures in spring, summer, fall and heck even winter. There are a lot of plants, flowed and shrubs spread out all over the university so if you have time take a walk and explore all the different gardens.
