Hit Canada’s Garden Route this year. If you’re visiting #Winnipeg #Manitoba, retreat from the cold in a warm, tropical paradise at The Leaf. The Leaf is an indoor horticultural attraction at Assiniboine Park where visitors will journey through four distinct biomes; the Hartley and Heather Richardson Tropical Biome, Mediterranean Biome, Babs Asper Display House, and the Shirley Richardson Butterfly Garden. Experience a stunning showcase of our diversity expressed through plants that shape our lives here and across the globe.
This stunning building is an experience to be had! Have you been to The Leaf at Assiniboine Park?

🌱Garden-Friendly Municipalities acknowledge how garden culture contributes to the quality of life in their communities, the health of their citizens, and the positive environmental impact made by gardens: the lungs of our cities. And, this acknowledgment also celebrates the role gardens and gardening played for their residents during the pandemic and now during the recovery. 125 Garden Friendly Municipalities representing nearly 50% of Canada’s population proclaimed 2022 as the Year of the Garden
This year, we’re encouraging more municipalities to become a Garden Friendly Municipality! Tag your municipality if you’d like them to be more garden friendly.⬇️
Follow Live the Garden Life to discover how to encourage your community to become a Garden Friendly Municipality in 2023

We’re excited to share that Purple was named Communities in Bloom's colour of the Year for 2023. Live the Garden Life whole-heartedly supports this campaign during 2023.
Plant Canada Purple! 💜Purple has a variety of effects on the mind and body, including uplifting spirits, calming the mind, enhanced feelings of spirituality and encouraging imagination and creativity
From lilacs to coneflowers, from coast to coast, let's Live the Garden Life and plant Canada purple in 2023!

Did you know that during the Year of the Garden 2022 125 Public Gardens and 28 Parks Canada Gardens were featured on Canada’s Garden Route? In addition, 124 Garden-friendly Municipalities (representing 49.6% of Canada’s population) proclaimed 2022 as the Year of the Garden.
It is clear that public and private gardens, and the efforts by municipalities, the public, community groups, and garden organizations are a vital part of what makes Canada a beautiful and popular international tourism destination. That is why Gardens Canada became a proud Estuary Sponsor of the 2023 IMPACT Sustainability Travel & Tourism Conference in Victoria BC. Michel Gauthier, Garden’s Canada Executive Director and Brent Gavin, Partnerships Manager are traveling to Victoria BC to connect with representatives from Canada’s tourism industry to present how “Live the Garden Life 2023” will help the tourism sector impact global change and lead the world in a new age of environmental and social responsibility.
Be sure to follow Live the Garden Life to learn more about gardens and tourism and how you can make a difference in your community.
