On March 12, The Home Show and Canada Blooms made the decision to cancel the Home Show and the Canada Blooms Festival, held at the Enercare Centre in Toronto, due to public health concerns over the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Each year, Canada Blooms garden builders show not only their craftsmanship but also creativity as they attempt to build and outstanding garden while keeping the festival theme in mind. Even though Canada Blooms was cancelled, a group of industry professional volunteer judges toured and evaluated the feature gardens and winners were chosen.
Canada Blooms and Landscape Ontario would like to thank the many garden builders for their efforts, including their outstanding creativity, hard work and dedication in support of this year’s festival.
Many thanks also, to the volunteer judges: Bruce Warren, Jeff McMann, Ron Koudys, Rita Weerdenburg, Jon Peter and Chris Flanagan.
