In the spirit of national pride and unity, the Landscape Ontario gardens at Canada Blooms 2017 will celebrate the Highway of Heroes Living Tribute campaign to plant 117,000 trees along the Hwy. 401 corridor from Trenton to Toronto.

Under the stewardship of LO president Paul Brydges and Highway of Heroes executive director Scott Bryck, the displays will feature four distinct gardens, representing the spring, summer, fall and winter seasons.

“The goal this year that we are really getting behind, is to promote the Highway of Heroes Living Tribute to the public and to let people know all about what a great campaign it truly is,” Brydges said. “To accomplish that goal, we will be creating four displays that showcase the simplicity of gardening as well as the beauty of garden design in all four seasons.”

The annual Canada Blooms festival is set for March 10-19, 2017 at the Enercare Centre in Toronto, Ont. For more information, visit canadablooms.com.
