PickOntario is inviting Ontario florists to show them how locally-grown flowers can provide great variety and result in high quality, fresh designs. We are holding a floral design contest open to florists across the province. Florists will create a floral arrangement that best showcases the beauty of Ontario grown flowers and the winning entries will be voted for online at www.pickOntario.ca.

The grand prize awarded to the top florist and one guest is to embark on a limo tour of greenhouses in Ontario and this includes an overnight stay at the Sheraton on the Falls Hotel in Niagara Falls, Ont and an elegant dinner. The first place winner will also be included in the March edition of the pickOntario newsletter. The top three florists will get the chance to show off their designs in pickOntario’s booth at Canada Blooms in Toronto and will be featured in Canadian Florist Magazine as well as on the pickOntario website.

As a consumer, you can vote for your favourite design starting in February. Visit pickOntario for more information.
