The Canadian Garden Council has proclaimed 2022 as Canada’s Year of the Garden. The Garden Council says this year is dedicated to honouring Canada’s rich garden heritage and culture.

Executive Director, Michel Gauthier, says as Canada begins to recover and approach a post-pandemic life, it’s hard to ignore the positive influence gardening has had over the last two years. Research shows a significant increase in gardening interest. He cites that nearly 83 per cent of Canadian households tended some form of a garden last year, and urges everyone to ‘Live the Garden Life’ which is the theme for the Year of the Garden.
