Thoughtful Gifts that Support Mother Nature
Step into the Garden Shop for nature-inspired gifts that give back. Explore garden essentials, botanical décor, books, seeds, and earth-friendly finds all chosen with care to support Mother Nature as much as the mothers we’re celebrating. Gift Cards are also available.
Gifting the Biggest Bouquet
With thousands of flowers at the Garden, your mom (and mother figures) deserves the biggest bouquet to celebrate this special day. By giving her a membership to the Toronto Botanical Garden, she’ll enjoy flowers all year round. Purchase a gift membership online or in our Garden Shop.
A Stroll in Bloom
Spend the day wandering the Garden’s spring pathways as spring blooms begin to emerge. It’s the perfect setting for photos, conversation, and simply enjoying time together in a place designed to inspire.
Dandelion Cafe
Complete your visit with coffee, tea, or a light bite at the Garden’s café operated by Daniel et Daniel, a cozy spot to pause and toast to Mom.
