The opening night party for Canada Blooms has been an annual tradition right from the start. Originally the Gala was a black tie affair. Tickets were around $200 each and all of the accoutrements reflected this. At the reduced rate of $75, the event has relaxed a great deal. But this casual atmosphere doesn't prevent the participants from having a good time while enjoying a privileged advanced showing of the gardens and floral installations.

Along with the gardens, participants were treated to presentations from Cirque Du Soleil, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, and various horticultural celebrities.

As you can tell from the video and the photos below, there were quite a number of local celebrities (mostly television and political) that attended.

If you are hosting a garden related event in the GTA and would like it covered in gardentoronto.ca or would like to place an e-poster about it on our Events Calendar, just contact me. I am always delighted to promote anything gardening in Toronto.
