    There were several theme gardens and these were from my favorites. The first is 'The Magic of Teamwork' and consists of 4 concepts, 4 designs, 4 gardens and 4 builders.

    My other favorite was 'What's old is new again', a garden reflecting the changes in garden use and design over the years.

    I thought this was cute ... it was at the end of the show and I was getting tired of walking. I had just wished I could click my heels together and I saw this

    Gosh the show must have been HUGE!! I'm really enjoying looking at all your photographs and would have to have had my hands sewn into my pockets to stop me buying at least one plant. :rolleyes: Looking forward already to the next batch Netty. :-D

    Thanks Sjoerd and sewNsow. I had almost forgotten about this flower show as it was way back in March. I look forward to going to Canada Blooms again in 2014 :)
