The International Garden Festival Presents a Feature Garden at Canada Blooms in Toronto

2011-03-14

The International Garden Festival returns to Canada Blooms in Toronto from March 16 to March 20 for the presentation of a feature garden by London-based landscape architect Deb Nagan. Canada Blooms is Canada’s premier garden show and attracts more than 100,000 visitors to view the gardens and displays at the Direct Energy Centre.

The Festival will present “how green is the garden?” by Deb Nagan. The garden features 5 colourful garden sheds displayed on a parterre of materials that will intrigue and entrance visitors. How green is the garden? is intended to make gardeners think of the environmental impact of their own garden. Gardeners make beautiful places – but just how environmentally aware, or indeed environmentally friendly are we? Can our little gardens face up to and expose the big issues that our changing and increasingly un-natural world is imposing on us? Our own garden sheds often contain pesticides, chemicals, broken tools, years of accumulated junk, projects started but unfinished, a snapshot of the hidden truth in our garden and our lives. This garden challenges us to look at the real impact we are having on the environment, and also provides the perfect white space in which to find new inspiration.
