One of the key differences occurred when they changed the price of the tickets. They used to be around $200.00 with an open bar, but this year they were $75.00 with a cash bar. Makes sense at first glance. Who can drink $125.00 worth of booze in 3 hours? The problem was that the VIPs were given an open bar in a restricted section. So this year there was an invisible wall between those who have, and those who have not. This prevented the same kind of mixing of people as in the past. http://www.gardentoronto.ca/canadablooms2010gala.html Mon, 07 Jun 2010 21:00:00 EST http://www.gardentoronto.ca/presidentschoice2010may7.html It gave us a chance to learn about and see first hand the new annuals, perennials, vegetables and shrubs that will be available at the various Loblaws chain of grocery stores. http://www.gardentoronto.ca/presidentschoice2010may7.html Fri, 07 May 2010 08:00:00 EST http://www.gardentoronto.ca/growgreatgrub.html I took the train into town, then the subway, then I was lucky enough to share the Dufferin St bus with a group of nuns dressed in light blue. At first glance, I thought I had stepped onto a bus with the Holy Mother! "Where will this take me?" I wondered. Well, whether it was to a book launch or the afterlife, I figured it was a good sign. http://www.gardentoronto.ca/growgreatgrub.html Tue, 04 May 2010 18:00:00 EST http://www.gardentoronto.ca/reconciliation.html To my delight and horror, I can tell you that a new play has been created, inspired by our farm. http://www.gardentoronto.ca/reconciliation.html Sat, 17 Apr 2010 17:00:00 EST http://www.gardentoronto.ca/getajumponspring2010.html If you are a gardener and are new to Toronto this is the show you must attend. http://www.gardentoronto.ca/getajumponspring2010.html Fri, 02 Apr 2010 11:30:00 EST http://www.gardentoronto.ca/2010Mar20.html If someone should ask me, "What do you think about Martha Stewart?"
