Canada Blooms Toronto

Twenty-three feature gardens and $9 million in plants will fill the Direct Energy Centre for Canada Blooms, running March 17-21. Check out our full coverage of the event:

 

- Canada Blooms: ‘The greatest show on Earth’: There are two types of people in this world: those who love to garden and those who just love to look at them. I have great news for both of you. This coming week, the greatest garden show on Earth comes to town for the 14th year. Canada Blooms, the Canadian Flower and Garden Festival at the Direct Energy Centre, runs March 17-21. 

 

- $9 million invested in 23 feature gardens: Drop by at 11:30 a.m. any day during Canada Blooms and you will see my buddy Denis Flanagan and me (Mark Cullen) giving a colourful overview of this year’s edition of this great festival. It is the perfect way to plan your day. 

 

- Fresh ideas to get you growing: Everything’s coming up edible at Canada Blooms 2010. From show gardens to expert speakers, growing your own fruits, herbs and vegetables, also known as “city farming” will be demonstrated everywhere you look. 

 

- Must-sees beyond the blooms: Rows of raspberry pink tulips and immaculate display gardens are always uplifting to cruise through in the middle of March. There’s wicked fun, too, in examining the floral arranging competitions at Canada Blooms. Yet our annual flowerfest isn’t simply about feasting our eyes on pretty plants or finding a landscaper. Savvy showgoers also head for the Marketplace, because that’s where you can find really neat stuff not sold in stores. 

 

- From generous hearts a festival blossoms: Sixteen years ago some seeds were sown in fertile ground. I remember the phone call from Tony DiGiovanni, executive director of Landscape Ontario, like it was yesterday. The professionals in the gardening industry, whom Digiovanni represents, and the Garden Club of Toronto were coming together with an idea that was huge. 

 

- Take a look at your garden but stay on pathways: “Don’t start too early,” is the main message Canada Blooms speaker Lorraine Flanigan has for gardening enthusiasts who can’t wait to get outside and get their hands dirty. 

 

- SEED Award will bloom at Evergreen Brick Works: At least one feature garden from Canada Blooms may live on permanently after the show ends, thanks to a new award from Evergreen Brick Works. 

 

- Why volunteer? Because ‘it’s so much fun’: People come from as far away as Ottawa, Halifax, even New York State to be volunteers at Canada Blooms each year. Some Torontonians even come back early from Florida to take their shift at Canada’s largest annual flower and garden show.

Toronto housing market continues to soar

An article ran recently in the Star and provides an update and outlook on the Toronto housing market.

 

(Toronto Star – Tony Wong – March 3rd)

 

Existing home sales in the Toronto area were up by 77 per cent in February compared with the same time last year, according to figures released today.

 

The Toronto Real Estate Board said 7,291 homes changed hands last month compared with 4,120 homes in February of 2009.

 

The average price of a home was also up by 19 per cent to $431,509.

 

“Increases in existing home sales and average price were noted across the GTA in low rise and high rise home types,” said TREB president Tom Lebour. “This suggests that first-time, move up and down sizing buyers are all active in the existing home marketplace.”

 

Comparisons with the first half of last year are slightly misleading because that was the bottom of the market, caution analysts.

 

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation released a forecast this week that the market will remain heated for the first half of the year, before trending down in the second half and into 2011.

 

One bright spot for buyers is that listings improved by a significant 24 per cent in February compared with last year.

 

“Annual growth in new listings is expected to continue,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s senior manager of market analysis. “New listings growth will start to outstrip sales growth as we move through 2010. As the market becomes better supplied, we will see more sustainable single digit rates of growth.”
