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.

The government has hinted that they are considering extending the Renovation Tax Credit.  Currently, home owners have until February 1, 2010 to purchase mateirals under the program.  The link to the CBC story is below:
