Every May from 2019 - 2024, Pioneer Flower Farms drove 11,000+ tulips into the city to transform Toronto’s Financial District into a garden. Still fresh in the crates, guests were invited to Arnell Plaza to cut a bouquet of beautiful tulip blooms directly from the soil they were grown in. Flowers were offered for free, but a small donation was encouraged. The installation raised $8,000+ in donations for CAMH Foundation and The Daily Food Bank. With the help of design company Useful and the generous support of Bay Adelaide Center, our long dreamed vision of a tulip picking garden was enabled and blossomed.
