2020 EVENTS: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in response to provincial and municipal guidance on all mass participation events we have decided to postpone our plans to host our annual events this summer. Please check back as we will continue to post updates on our website or sign up for our enewsletter to receive the latest information direct to your inbox.
Celebration of Vibrant Fall Colours We think anytime is a good time to visit the National Capital Region, but autumn is by far one of our most colourful times of year. The tulips and gardens may just be memories in October, but the blazing glory of the deciduous trees and the soft warmth of sun along the Garden Promenade combine into a Fall Rhapsody that is renowned world-wide. Bring your camera and put your hiking boots on. There is so much to see and explore you’ll want to make this spectacular season part of your annual sojourn to the Capital. Watch here for more information soon. Discover Garden Fall Rhapsody activities here.
Garden Culinary Experiences As the days begin to grow shorter, and the heat of the summer starts to dissipate, people in this region look forward to the bounties of the harvest. This September, Gardenlicious will offer a truly delightful garden culinary experience. From Farmer and Chef events to gardenlicious wine and food pairings at your favourite restaurant, check this space to learn about activities, times, and locations where you can enjoy some of the city’s best Garden-to-Table experiences.
