- Gardening 101 at Canada Blooms.
- Learn and grow as a gardener at Canada’s largest flower and garden festival. -

Time in the garden can be peaceful, a tranquil setting surrounding by nature.

But for the uninitiated, it can also be intimidating. There is a lot to know about what to plant when to plant it, how to care for the soil, when are the fruits and vegetables ready to pick, when a flower will bloom, whether to mulch, when and how much water … the list of possible concerns goes on. But Canada Blooms has you covered, seminars, workshops, and presentations over the 10-day run of the festival to help everyone cultivate their green thumb.
