  • Garden Days is about to bloom from coast to coast
Garden Days is Canada’s annual, fun-filled, country-wide celebration of our garden culture and the vital role of gardens and gardening in our communities and our lives.  This year’s dates are June 16 to 24, inclusive.
 
Starting on National Garden Day, Saturday, June 16, this nine-day program of activities and events is for garden enthusiasts, families, schools and tourists alike. Garden Days is an opportunity for all Canadians to get outside to enjoy their own garden, visit or take part in their favourite garden experience, get inspired at a nearby garden centre, attend a garden-related seminar or two at a local library or horticultural society, go on a garden tour, get involved with a community garden initiative or travel to a nearby destination to enjoy their favourite public garden.
 
Garden Days activities from coast to coast
There are hundreds of fun activities planned from one end of the country to the other.  From The Butchart Gardens in Victoria’s ‘Gnome Hunt’ which will delight the kids, to Memorial University of Newfoundland Botanical Garden’s ‘Rhody Show’ a must-see for plant lovers –  there are activities in every province that will be sure to delight.  All are easily found on the Garden Days website http://gardendays.ca/
 
There’s still time to register your activities
All Canadian gardens, garden and horticultural organizations, schools, communities, libraries, wineries, BIAs and garden-related businesses such as garden centres are invited to organize activities or events to celebrate public gardens and home gardening and register them, at no cost, on the Garden Days website.  It’s as simple as visiting gardendays.ca and clicking on the ‘Register’ button.
 
Why is there a national Garden Days program?
The objective of Garden Days is to draw attention to Canada’s garden culture, history and innovations and to underscore the importance of public and private gardens, the values of home gardening and the promotion of environmental stewardship. 
 
Above all, Garden Days is all about having some great outdoor fun while celebrating the role of gardens and gardening in our communities and our lives.
