The flower beds of Toronto may be bare, but a partnership between Canada Blooms and The Fairmont Royal York has taken sprout.
Toronto’s landmark hotel offers a one night stay in a Fairmont Room and two tickets to the Canada Blooms show March 16-25, 2012, with rates beginning at $135.
Canada Blooms, Canada’s largest flower and garden festival, is co-locating with The National Home Show, to create North America’s largest home and garden event. Six acres of stunning creative gardens in a dazzling display of color, texture and fragrance, as well as over 200 hours of free lectures, gardening demonstrations and talks are anticipated over 10 days this March.
The Fairmont Royal York is a natural fit for Canada Blooms attendees.
It is among the first hotels in the world to pioneer rooftop gardening and is the first to establish a hotel rooftop apiary.
The 4,000 sq. ft. garden located on the 14th floor of the hotel is known to gardeners around the world for its contribution to urban agriculture and its award-winning honey. The Executive Chef and his kitchen brigade nurture over 20 herbs and vegetables in 17 beds, including organic basil, parsley, sage, tarragon, chocolate mint, peppermint, spearmint, chives, lemon balm, marjoram hot peppers and cayenne pepper plants.
Guests seeking a relaxing weekend over March Break, and desiring to combine their first breath of spring at the annual Canada Blooms with a stay at The Fairmont Royal York, may book a Canada Blooms package now.
The Canada Blooms Special Offer is based on availability, exclusive of taxes, and on a single or double occupancy. For reservations, please call 1-800-441-1414, or visit The Fairmont website.
