- Canada Blooms’ Feature Gardens are the best of the best. -

Canada is celebrating the 150th anniversary of Confederation this year, and that patriotic fervour is flowing over to Canada Blooms.

Besides celebrating the country’s sesquicentennial with a floral recreation of the Canada 150 logo welcoming all patrons to Canada’s largest floral and garden festival, the Oh! Canada theme of this year’s event is inspiring the popular feature gardens that, in turn, inspire Canadian gardeners and landscapers when putting together their own yards and creations.
