The Clock Face

Measuring 40 feet in diameter, the face of the Floral Clock is filled with as much as 16,000 carpet plants and colourful annuals, including alternanthera, santolina and privet. Its intricate faces are designed and planted by expert horticulturalists and students from the Niagara Parks School of Horticulture.

Westminster Chimes

Standing behind the floral clock is a tower that houses Westminster chimes that greet each quarter hour. If the door into the tower is open during your visit, you can take a glimpse at the clock mechanism and enjoy photographs that show almost every face design dating all the way back to 1950!
