Originally launched in 2024, Spring Blooms was created in response to the absence of the beloved Canada Blooms show, which ceased operations in 2020. Building on the success of the Garden Club of Toronto’s long-running members-only flower and horticultural shows, this public event has quickly become a must-attend celebration of spring in Toronto. Following overwhelmingly positive response and strong attendance in previous years, the Garden Club of Toronto is proud to bring Spring Blooms back in 2026—bigger, brighter, and more inspiring than ever.

About the Garden Club of Toronto (GCT)
The Garden Club of Toronto is a volunteer-based organization dedicated to promoting horticulture, floral design, and environmental stewardship through education, community engagement, and charitable initiatives.
Since 1947, our Club goals have been to provide members and the public with floral design and horticultural education, resources, and networking opportunities; to provide a forum for people to make new friends with people who share common interests; to promote the love of gardening, floral design, and civic and environmental responsibility; and to organize and encourage participation in local and international floral design shows.
We promote the love and knowledge of gardening through speakers, symposiums, flower shows (local and international), civic garden projects, and sponsorship of floral and landscaping shows. We also fund post-secondary scholarships to students enrolled in landscaping programs throughout Ontario, as well as for the Toronto Botanical Garden’s summer nature camps for youth from Toronto’s high-priority neighbourhoods.
