Is there any more appropriate theme for a garden show than passion? Gardening is about cultivating life—nurturing living organisms. Gardeners are, by nature, passionate people and in the past fourteen years, visitors to Canada Blooms have demonstrated a deepening and increasingly passionate commitment to everything from gardens and flowers to floral arrangements, garden ornaments and horticultural travel. And, in more recent years, they have come to embrace the need to make our home here on earth greener and more sustainable. Join us at Canada Blooms 2010 and unleash your passion! |

In the D.A. Gracey & Associates Cellar, prepare to find yourself in the hidden heart of a classic garden courtyard. As you journey from the courtyard to the private tasting room, you will be undertaken through the natural seasonal progression. Through the different stages: growth of the grapes, harvest, fermentations, bottling and cellaring, the end of the journey is to the social event of tasting, feasting, and sharing the fruits of our labour. A party with great food and wine, friends and family is their passion! Cellar is only one of more than 23 beautiful feature gardens that you won’t want to miss at this year’s show.
