Live The Garden Life

2022 is the Year of The Garden.

The Canadian Garden Council has proudly proclaimed 2022 as the Year of the Garden. This celebration honours the centennial of Canada’s ornamental horticulture sector and the Canadian Landscape Association’s 100-year anniversary.

This year, we celebrate the vital impact gardens and gardening have on quality of life, at home, in communities and across Canada. Live the Garden Life!
