For more than 20 years, Canada Blooms has been inspiring visitors with its creative floral designs, unique seminars, breathtaking gardens, and expert advice. Year after year Canada Blooms transforms the Enercare Centre into a colourful, idyllic space for guests to explore and this year, visitors will be blown away as designers and landscapers take their creations to new heights with 2020’s theme, Birds of a Feather.
Taking place March 13-22, 2020, Canada Blooms Birds of a Feather gives garden designers, builders, floral artists, competitors, and presenters an opportunity to explore imagery incorporating birds, feathers, birdbaths and more. Alternatively, designers can choose to interpret Birds of a Feather figuratively while focusing on similarities between people, plants and insects.
One feature garden that promises to stand out this year is the Bienenstock Natural Playground. As the largest garden in Canada Blooms’ history, Bienenstock is creating a full sensory experience with nature that is accessible to everyone. The fully interactive and barrier-free play space will provide an accessible natural environment for individuals of all ages with special needs, allowing people with all the abilities to hear the birds sing.
