3FOREWORD
Canada Blooms co-chairs, Celia Roberts and Janet Ennamorato, are
delighted to introduce the 2018 Canada Blooms Festival, entitled “Let’s
Go to the Movies!”, honouring one of Toronto’s featured industries – the
film industry. This theme allows garden builders, garden designers and
floral artists the scope to demonstrate their creativity as they interpret
“Let’s Go to the Movies!” through their exciting outdoor spaces and floral
displays. Our desire for colour and fragrance after a long winter will be
satisfied by the wonderful colours and sights in the gardens and the flower
show, previews of Spring.
In response to the increasing number of people living in condominiums
and apartments, Canada Blooms is introducing six Balcony Gardens this
year. To showcase the most reliable and outstanding plants available from
growers, we are pleased to present the 2018 Plant Of the Year – in fact,
there are actually three! The Annual of the Year is Petunia Supertunia
“Bordeaux”; the Perennial of the year is Heuchera Primo ‘Black Pearl’ and
the Landscape Plant of the Year is Weigela “Spilled Wine”. They are worthy
of your consideration as you plan your 2018 garden.
The Toronto Flower Show, presented by the Garden Club of Toronto and its
members, brings non-professional exhibitors and members of horticultural
societies and garden clubs from across the province and around the world
to the show to display their floral artistry and horticultural expertise.
Enjoy the workshops and fabulous speakers on the UNILOCK Celebrity
Stage. Fan favourites Mark Cullen, Paul Zammit and Denis Flanagan share
their wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for gardening and the
protection of the environment. A host of speakers will entertain and
educate us as we learn new tips and trends.
In 2017, USA Today and Conde Nast named Canada Blooms in their list of
Top 10 Garden Shows in the world! Canada Blooms was named the top
Canadian Garden Festival!
The staff and the Board of Canada Blooms wish to thank the talented
designers and builders of gardens, world-renowned floral artists, growers
extraordinaire, and the army of wonderful volunteers for making these
accolades possible. We are very excited about this year’s show and hope
you enjoy the celebration of “Let’s Go To The Movies!”.

HORTICULTURE & SPECIAL EXHIBIT COMPETITION
RULES
Regulations and judging standards
1. General Regulations (pages 7, 8), Judging Criteria (page 9) and The
Ontario Judging and Exhibiting Standards for Horticulture and Floral
Design, 2003 edition, (OJES) will govern.
Possession
2. All plants exhibited must have been grown by the exhibitor for at least
3 months prior to March 9, 2018, except in the Special Exhibit

Garden Club of Toronto office. See inside back cover for
information on addresses and numbers.
Special Exhibits must be pre-registered with the listed class
convenor. Pre‐registration of horticultural entries is strongly
encouraged but not required (it is faster to delete an entry on
entry day than to enter new data). Exhibitors may register any
additional entries in the horticultural classes on site on ENTRY
DAY.
b) Entry Forms must be printed clearly and include the exhibitor’s
name, class number and plant names/lists using both botanical
and common names of specimens were applicable. Entry forms
accompany exhibits on entry day. The entry card on display during
the show is prepared from the information provided on this form.
Entries
4. Exhibitors may have up to THREE entries per class in the Horticulture
Division, as long as they are different species or cultivar of a species.
Exhibitors may have only ONE entry per class in the Special Exhibits
Division.
5. Exhibitors may have no more than 30 entries in total. Each entry must
be accompanied by its own Entry Form.
6. Plant lists: A plant list is required for classes that permit two or more
species or cultivars. Botanical and common names must be included
on the entry card and ALSO on a 10 cm x 15 cm (4”x 6”) index card.
7. Should the exhibitor require the watering/ grooming committee to
care for an exhibit during the show, the exhibitor must attach
instructions including watering requirements and any special needs to
the entry form. The water/grooming committee will be notified of
these needs.
8. Exhibitors may enter horticultural classes on 1st and 2nd entry days,
provided each is completely different from the previous species or
cultivar exhibited. Special Exhibits must contain completely different
plant material than any of the plant material used previously in the
show this year.
9. Where a class exists for a special type or variety of specimen, a
specimen entry must be exhibited in that class, e.g. ferns must be
10exhibited in a fern class. The Novice Class 21 and Provisional Class
22 are exempt from this rule. Classes 23, 24 and 25 are also exempt.
10. Potted plants may have more than one stem if it is characteristic of
the cultivar, e.g. Hedera helix. Specimen plants may have only one
rooted stem, e.g. Azalea or Rosemarinus officinalis.
11. No accessories are permitted in horticultural classes unless otherwise
stated. Accessories are permitted in MOST Special Exhibit classes.
12. Topdressing is not mandatory but may be used at the discretion of the

pests and disease.
15. Please Note: No competitors will be allowed to groom or water their
entries after they are placed on the show floor until judging has been

12HELPFUL HINTS FOR THE HORTICULTURAL
COMPETITIONS
Please check Ontario Judging and Exhibiting Standards for Horticulture
and Floral Design, 2003 edition, also known as OJES.
The following are a few of the criteria the judges take into consideration
when judging:
When there is more than one specimen of the same cultivar in an
entry, the judge looks for uniformity in size, form, colour and stage of
development as well as cultural perfection.
Freshness of material, along with the proportion of the stem to the
cultivar and condition of the foliage, where applicable, are looked at
carefully.
Floriferousness refers to the abundance of flowers on the entire plant.
The quality of colour and size, as well as the number of flowers, is of
importance.
Good condition and grooming are important, and all entries must be
free of pests and disease. Any damaged foliage should be carefully
removed so that it does not affect the overall appearance of the
exhibit.
It is important for the exhibitor to check in Ontario Judging and
Exhibiting Standards for Horticulture and Floral Design (2003 edition),
for the Scale of Points for each type of exhibit, e.g. Flowering Branches
have a Scale of Points that is quite different from that for Cacti and
other Succulents. By checking in this publication, you could end up
with the winning entry! It is really a “must do”.
Saucers of compatible material should be brought with potted plants
and placed under them for drainage.
Reference books that might be of assistance are:
Reader's Digest A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants - Brickell, Cole,
Zuk
The Reader’s Digest Success with Houseplants
New Encyclopedia of Herbs & Their Uses – Bown
Remember to read your schedule carefully – it is the law of the show.
13Horticultural and Special Exhibit Entries 2018
You will need to complete two types of forms, available from Garden Club
of Toronto monthly shows, or downloaded from either the Garden Club of
Toronto website: www.thegardencluboftoronto.ca, or the Canada Blooms
website: www.canadablooms.com.
1. Horticultural & Special Exhibit Registration Form (1 per exhibitor)
This form may be completed and submitted for pre-registration by
March 6, 2018, or you may register on-site during the entry times. The
form must contain the exhibitors’ name and club affiliation, if any.
This form lists all the entries you are submitting for both entry days. A
copy of this form will be available at the registration desk on the show
floor, and this information will have been entered into the show
database if you have pre-registered. All Special Exhibit entries must
have been pre-registered. On entry days, you must notify the Entries
Convenor in the Hort office of any horticultural entries that are added
or deleted. See pages 9 and 10 for information about registration and
forms.
Entry Form (1 per entry)
This form must be attached to each entry and is not to be pre‐
submitted. It allows the show committee to identify the owner of each
plant or entry until the printed forms are completed from our
database. If you are entering an “Exhibit” in Section F, G, or H you
must attach a printed list of plants with both botanical and common
names to your entry. This must be on a 10 cm (4”) x 15 cm (6”) card,
or on paper that can be cut to fit the holders placed on the show floor
with your entry.
NOTE: These forms may be copied from the form inserted in the
schedule or downloaded from the website www.canadablooms.com.
Also, they will be available on the entry days at the Registration tables.
If you have more than 10 entries, please arrive at least one hour and
a half prior to the close of entries on Wednesday March 7, 2018 and
Tuesday March 13, 2018. No entries will be allowed after that time.
Exhibitors may enter the show floor any time after 2:30 p.m. on
Wednesday March 7, 2018 to begin preparing their entries, but
entries will not be classified or accepted until 4:30 p.m.
2. Class Eligibility
There are two days for most classes, unless otherwise noted. See
Horticulture and Special Exhibits Competition Rule #8, page 10.
14 Sections A, B, and C are open to all interested non-professional
