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 tulip blooms directly from the soil they were grown in. Flowers were offered for free, but a small donation was encouraged. The installation raised donations each year 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.
