What is Garden Days? It’s simply Canada’s coast to coast to coast, ten-day celebration of all things gardening. It is held annually in June finishing on the Father’s Day weekend.

Garden Days is an opportunity for Canadians to enjoy their own garden, visit or take part in their favourite garden experience, get inspired at their local garden centre or travel to a nearby destination to enjoy their favourite garden.  There are a ton of great activities taking place over the next 9 days so come out and enjoy some fresh air.  You’ll also learn a whole bunch of new skills by sitting in on some of the great information sessions throughout Garden Days.
