A noun. A verb. A blog.
I really could title this blog post Pay No Attention to those (thousands of) Gardeners Behind the Curtain. I’m talking about the people who put garden shows together. The masses of people. However I must start by acknowledging my perennial pet peeve about garden shows; then tell you how joining in with flower show worker […]

A Good Thing – Dramatic Entryway to this year’s Canada Blooms pictured above. The Worst Things 1. The Trend of More Commerce than Art in the Showcase Gardens. Traditionally, it was the showcase gardens that you went to see. Each had a distinct flavour, with memorable details and a definite personality. It was tough to […]
5. Flower Power Don’t forget that Canada Blooms is about blooms – and equal partners with Landscape Ontario in the show is the Garden Club of Toronto.

After a few start-up pains (like that first year way out by the airport) and a few glory years (remember Janet Rosenberg’s spectacular garden designs for Loblaws?), Canada’s largest indoor garden show has settled into something of […]
