The Magnolia Map now has over 130 trees documented, with more than 80 people contributing to the map! White and pink star magnolias will soon be passing their peak, and saucer magnolias are in various stages of bloom.
The main reason I created this map was to get to know Halifax better on foot, create connections with neighbours, and of course see/smell as many magnolia trees as possible.
On my own walks I've enjoyed finding new (to me) businesses, lemonade stands, and generally exploring new neighbourhoods. While searching for magnolias, you may also find free little libraries, yard sales, curbside finds (@stooping_halifax), beautiful garden beds, sidewalk chalk art, or local corner stores or cafes!

I have created suggested walking routes to enjoy the blooms, along with other spring flora including forsythia, tulips, daffodils, azaleas, and more.
📌 North End, 2km
