Garden finder map
Check out our garden finder map for gardening inspiration or to find greenspaces in your neighbourhood to add to your next walk or bike ride.
If you were recognized by Kitchener in Bloom or you want to share your garden, public garden or greenspace be sure to add it to our map. Include a picture and description to make the map even better.
Adding a garden to our garden finder map is not a Kitchener in Bloom recognition. Find recognition information above.
Virtual classes
We previously hosted a series of virtual gardening classes on Facebook. In these classes, gardening experts shared tips for preparing your garden, cooking what you grow and more.
