Magic of SpringWine Sensory GardenCanada Blooms is excited to announce that WILD will be the theme for our 2014 festival.
Artistic Director, Colomba Fuller tells us "Wild is a word rooted in a fantastic plethora of other words: natural, untamed, fantastic, outlandish, extravagant, sensational, unrestrained, fanciful, fabulous, primitive, lush, and luxuriant, just to name a few.
Given the diversity of the meanings of WILD we are waiting with much enthusiasm to see how our talented garden designers, builders and floral superstars will interpret the theme to create their stunning showcases. We invite you to join Canada Blooms from March 14 to 23, 2014 at the Direct Energy Centre where we will once again co-locate with the National Home Show to create North America's Largest Home & Garden Event. Get ready for Spring 2014 and Go Wild with Canada Blooms!

June Callwood Park

The work of the Projects Committee of the Garden Club of Toronto has started to come to fruition. The official sod turning and media launch for the June Callwood Park took place on June 4th with Councillor Mike Layton in attendance along with anumber of Garden Club Members. The date had been chosen to coincide as near to June Callwood’s June 2nd birthday as possible.

The hardscaping started this spring which will allow for trees to beplanted in the fall. The gardens, which will be the cottage garden of our grandmothers will be planted by our members in the spring of Garden Club of Toronto2014.  A year from now the June Callwood Park Gardens, on its completion will be the toast of the town!
