TORONTO — With 280 exhibitors on 51,000 square feet, Garden Expo/Florist Expo is ranked in the top 50 largest trade shows in Canada. The show takes place on October 17-18, 2013 at the Toronto Congress Centre.


“This is a unique trade show because we are actually providing three shows under one roof, The Garden Expo, The Floral Expo and for the first time ever, The National Hardware show in response to the needs of Canadian homeowners,” said Paul Day, trade show manager. Canadians spent almost $35 Billion dollars last year repairing and enhancing their homes and we have to provide new and leading edge products, options and solutions through our retail product providers to meet the ever growing demands.”

The trade show will feature the first ever Canada wide Garden Centre Symposium on October 16th, 2013 which will act as the springboard into Garden Expo. This is a world-class event and learning opportunity for garden centre owners and managers so they can serve the buying public better and become more efficient at providing their service and products.

An integral part of Garden Expo is The National Hardware Show Canada targeting buyers from hardware stores, retail stores or garden centres that provide lawn and garden furniture and hardware lines. “One registration gets you entry into the three trade shows, we wanted to make it that easy,” said Mr. Day.

Garden Expo/Floral Expo is produced by Landscape Ontario with assistance from Flowers Canada Ontario, both non-profit trade associations. The Hardware Show Canada is produced by Reed Exhibitions, the largest public show company in North America.
