Floral displays and design

Our gardens are a source of civic pride and recognition in our community and beyond. We have received provincial, national, and international honours from Communities in Bloom.

Fun Facts

  • Flowers are grown from seed in our greenhouse before planting in the spring
  • City staff design, plant, and maintain the flowerbeds

Watch for new and interesting themed plant and flower displays throughout the City.

Bee City

Bee City Canada has recognized Oshawa as a Bee City for our commitment to protecting pollinators and their habitats.

We have five pollinator gardens and four community gardens containing pollinator plant species. Many of our other flowering gardens and baskets are a source of pollen for animals and insects.

Oshawa was one of the first cities in Canada to develop a pest management program before Ontario's cosmetic pesticides ban. Our Boulevard By-Law encourages pollinator plantings throughout the City. Our crews also incorporate no-mow or low-mow species as much as possible to increase naturalization of new and existing parks.
