 An exclusive peek at Canada Blooms the Flower & Garden Festival
March 18 – 22, 2009 |

Many of the gardens at this year’s show celebrate the
beauty of the Canadian landscape. D.A. Gracey & Associates’
Seasons feature garden showcases the peace, tranquility and
majesty of a typical northern wetlands scene. From a wintry,
ice-covered pond rimmed by snow-frosted conifers, the terrain
melts into a sun-drenched meadow of native plants, revealing
the beauty of the natural landscape through the seasons. Seasons
is one of more than 24 beautiful feature gardens that you won't
want to miss at this year's show. |
