Each year Canada Blooms invites designers to show the possibilities of entrance spaces. This year was not exception. Designers demonstrated their creativity for small spaces like doorsteps and backsteps. The main theme of this year featured gardens was Canadiana. Exhibitors used traditional Canadian materials (flowers and trees) as well as national symbols.
