DATE: TORONTO, OCTOBER 21st and 22nd, 2008
Garden & Floral Expo

Every Year Landscape Ontario, in partnership with Flowers Canada - Toronto Chapter, holds their Garden & Floral Expo; for the green and floral industries. The highly anticipated trade show took place on October 21st and 22nd, 2008 at the Toronto Congress Center.

Garden & Floral Expo is known as a place for launching new products, recent plant and floral introductions and demonstrations of products for industry. So it was no surprise that many exhibitors did just that. Over 150 new or green products and new plant varieties were presented in the New Product Showcase.

The crowd thoroughly enjoyed the many floral designers who were present. They provided demonstrations and tips on making beautiful arrangements for a variety of occasions including funerals, weddings and holidays.

This year, for the first time, pickOntario joined this dynamic event. pickOntario, a division of Flowers Canada (Ontario) Inc, promotes locally grown greenhouse flowers. Ontario growers use the latest in technology and growing techniques and uphold some of the strictest quality standards in the world. Also by buying local products, we boost our economy and our environment.

pickOntario very much enjoyed being part of this great event and meeting various growers and florists. We were able to share the benefits of promoting locally grown product to their consumers. Buying within 100 miles of your home means there’s no storage time while your flowers are in transit from overseas and your carbon footprint is much smaller. Best of all, when you pickOntario, you are ensured the freshest product available.
