I know that everyone is looking for a reprieve from this horribly harsh winter we have been having and I have just the answer for you: the annual Canada Blooms festival!!! This amazing start to Spring will be held from March 13th to March 22nd, 2015 at the Direct Energy Centre at Exhibition Place in Toronto. This is what you are in for when you visit Canada Blooms:
Canada Blooms is an annual world-class festival that connects people to the joys and benefits of nature through experiences with gardens and flowers by promoting, educating, inspiring and celebrating all aspects of horticulture. A not-for-profit organization that gives back to the community throughout the year by funding community garden projects around Ontario, Canada Blooms is also dedicated to providing the community with horticulture expertise, education and resources on an ongoing basis.
Now in its 19th year, Canada Blooms was founded by Landscape Ontario and The Garden Club of Toronto. Each year it is supported by a committed group of partners, sponsors and volunteers. Canada Blooms has been named One of Ontario’s Top 100 Events by Festivals and Events Ontario and One of North America’s Top 100 Events by the American Bus Association.

**Update: Confirmed winner of this giveaway is Marla P. Congrats Marla!!
i love too many flowers to have just one favorite.
Imma do both. I love tulips. (My mom’s side is Dutch, but I’m sure it’s just their simple beauty and elegance!) And my favourite season is late spring, like the month of June. (Late spring specifically isn’t a season, but I don’t love late March/early April.)
I would absolutely love to win tickets to this show. I would take my mom. She loves flowers. My favourite flower is the star gaze Lilly. A beauty all on it’s own.
Awesome contest. Good luck to everyone
I absolutely love peonies, it’s just a shame they don’t last very long. Thanks for the opportunity.
I really love orchids. I would love to own one but I don’t think I could get the conditions right to keep it going in my condo.
I love the summer!!!!!!!
I love lilies and my favourite season is Spring when the flowers start to bloom!
My favourite flower: Daisy
My Favourite Season” Spring” So Much Fun & Enjoyment!
I love spring – when the earth is waking up & the buds are breaking on the trees.
Wow! How do you choose one flower or one season? I love roses – all colours and I think Fall is my favourite season. I chose to marry in the Fall. 🙂
My favourite flower is the sunflower. My favourite season is fall when the leaves change colour and the bounty of the fall harvests are ready.
Pick me please?
My fave flower is red roses for sure. Summer is my favourite season.
I love spider mums!
Our favourite season is spring. My favourite flower is the hibiscus 🙂
My favourite flower is the Rudbeckia or Black Eyed Susan. I like the showy yellow!
I love poppies!
Daisies are my favourite flower and Fall/Spring are my favourite time of year.

My favourite season is also fall!
Did you count my entry?
Hi Lina, all entries were counted as long as they left me a comment with your favorite flower or season 🙂
I like all flowers but the Rose stand s out for me. I also like all the seasons, but I guess the Fall is first on the list.
It would be a godsend of a trip…I live in not-so-sunny Alberta and have never been there or shared the beauty
LOVE a hibiscus….although tropical. I LOVE spring when the snow melts and the first colours of the season start to show
My fav flowers are hot pink geraniums, especially in balcony flower baskets. They remind me of Italy. Fav season is summer… love the sun and heat.
Love attending this event…..been a while as I’ve moved out of the city. Great way to spend an afternoon!
