Spring forward at Canada Blooms

While I am a true-blue Canadian and love our seasons I'm REALLY longing to putter around the garden. And was I jealous when I read a friends facebook posting that she was admiring the cherry blossoms on the west coast! BUT those of us in the east can have all that and more from March 12-16 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. I particularly wanted to tell you about the entry garden at Canada Blooms that Plant Architect inc. designed and Oriole Landscaping Ltd. constructed for Gardening Life. Channeling Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Plant Architect has created a macroscape garden where visitors walk amongst giant steel flowers and then come back down to size to stroll through a meadow of real plantings that represent spring, summer, fall and winter. And rather than the colour of the plants changing with the season they've opted to challenge convention and use one colour for all four seasons--yellow. So you'll see stuff like yellowtwig dogwood, aromatic sumac, lemon balm, reiger begonia, hakonechloa, tiger eyes sumac to name only a few.
