This year, Toronto will construct a new park, June Callwood Park.

June Callwood Park will be designed to have ample space, park benches and trees, according to gh3, the winner of the June Callwood Park Design Competition.

Also, the June Callwood Park will blossom as a garden, thanks to Canada Blooms‘ donation of $50,000 to be given to the Garden Club of Toronto, which will play a key role in designing and planting a garden to beautify June Callwood Park.

The donation will occur today at Canada Blooms: Canada’s Largest Flower and Garden Festival, Direct Energy Centre, Exhibition Place, Hall A and Heritage Court, 100 Princes’ Blvd., from 2 to 3 p.m.
