An exclusive peek at Canada Blooms the Flower & Garden Festival

March 17 – 21, 2010

Canada Blooms is proud to announce the new SEED (Society, Environment, Education, Design) award, sponsored by Evergreen Brick Works for the greenist exhibit.
An expert jury of gardening experts and horticulturalists will present this award to the exhibitor whose display
is the most environmentally inspired. The winner will be invited to design and build a plot at the soon to be
opened Evergreen Brick Works. Click here to view the SEED award
criteria.

Visit the Evergreen Brick Works booth at Canada Blooms to hear about the transforming of an abandoned
brick making factory into an environmental community centre, and about the soon to be opened Native Plant Nursery.

This year's Canada Blooms Signature Garden Forbidden Flora will be sure to evoke passion. Flora invites
you to peek through the curtain to view her secret garden: a lush, tropical paradise, a lipstick red walkway, a
misty pond… Dare you catch a glimpse of this private moment? Unleash your imagination… Liberate your passion…
Please do not disturb the elegant couples stylishly dressed by Bannerman's.
