I want to bring my mom to PEI to see the trees blossom like they do in Anne of Green Gables, when Anne rides the buggy to town. It's a beautiful lane of pink blossoming trees. When does that usually happen in Spring?

Dear Tiffany,

Thank you for your question to Ask An Islander.

The apple blossoms generally come out late April to the first of May. The apple blossoms flowering time is generally 7 to 9 days. It would be good to contact an apple orchard prior to the season, to check on the blooming times for their variety of apples. 

The Green Gables Heritage Place generally opens the first of May. Matthew's Carriage Rides at the Anne of Green Gables Museum are available mid-May. Emerald Isle Carriage Tours are also available for various carriage tours.

I hope you and your mother have a wonderful time planning this adventure.
