Canada Blooms 2019 Feature Garden Builder Awards
Members of the landscape and horticulture profession gathered at the Enercare Centre in downtown Toronto for Canada Blooms Industry Awards Night on March 14.
The evening event, sponsored by HUB International and Aviva, provides a timely pre-spring venue for landscape pros to network and socialize, while also recognizing the creativity, imagination and skills of companies who built feature gardens at the 10-day festival.
At the event, Tony DiGiovanni, Landscape Ontario Executive Director, welcomed those gathered around the Unilock Celebrity Stage, followed by some words by Canada Blooms General Manager, Terry Caddo. Winners were then announced for each of the various categories, and invited to the stage to receive their award. Thanks to LO president, Warren Patterson, and Canada Blooms co-chairs, Janet Ennamorato and Judy Zinni for helping to present the awards.
A video tour of each feature garden is being released weekly on the Landscape Ontario YouTube channel at youtube.com/landscapeontario
