An invitation to make a difference.

Canada was the first country in the world to recognize – by a unanimous consent motion in the House of Commons – a Year of the Garden to celebrate Canada’s rich horticultural heritage and vibrant garden culture today.

Live the Garden Life, a legacy of the Year of the Garden 2022, is a public education campaign developed by Gardens Canada and its stakeholders to celebrate Canada’s garden culture and nurture the future.

Canadians of all ages, and in all parts of the country garden at home and in their community, visit gardens, and reap the many benefits gardens provide. This is your invitation to Live the Garden Life and Make a Difference by:

Gardening at home or in the community
