PickOntario represents the flower growers of Ontario and promotes the beautiful flowers they grow. These growers produce over 1,000 varieties of cut, potted and outside bedding plants in their greenhouses across Ontario. By purchasing local flowers, you are receiving quality and freshness, while supporting greenhouse growers and over 7,000 employees.
