Attention Plant lovers ! Before starting to dig in the dirt this summer , why not visit this outdoor garden show usually held in the month of June at the
Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens ? The famous Niagara Flower and Garden Show benefits the not-for-profit activities of the Master Gardeners of Ontario and the horticultural programs of the Niagara Parks School of Horticulture.
Visitors have the opportunity to hear first-rate speakers, see "hands-on" demonstrations, and buy garden-related items, plants and other "must haves" from the over 100 vendors who will be in attendance.
You will be able to walk the paths and take in the beauty of the Rose Garden, the Annual Display Garden, the Vegetable Garden, the Herb Garden and the Arboretum. A highlight of the show will be a botanical and contemporary music show.
The Niagara region is inhabited by an unusually high ratio of gardeners, and it is also home to most of the growers in Ontario. Best of all, it will be held in the middle of the planting season, so any plants purchased can be safely planted as soon as they get to their new homes.
On site there will be a Standard Flower Show hosted by the Garden Club of Niagara, which will include cut flowers, flowering branches, potted plants as well as a variety of floral designs. Fans of horticulture are sure to find a decidedly Canadian look at gardening and a tremendous array of everything from the newest gardening accessories to a variety of unique plants at the Niagara Flower and Garden Show.
