Malcolm Allen introduced a Private Member’s Bill to estab- lish National Garden Day. The Welland MP’s bill would designate the Friday before Father’s Day of each year as National Garden Day. “National Garden Day would

Nursery Landscape Association (CNLA) and other stakeholder groups, National Garden Day would promote environmental stewardship, educate the public on the health benefits of gardens, and highlight the importance of industry in the maintenance and creation of gardens everywhere. CNLA President Christene
LeVatte said, “Recognizing a national day to celebrate gardens will not only support our indus- try, but also greatly benefit the Canadian public and economy. We look forward to seeing this bill come to fruition in the near future.”
