Studio 1 Activity: Flower City Greenhouses
Create your own Flower City Greenhouse inspired by the history of Brampton’s flower industry.
Background: In 1860, Edward Dale established a flower nursery and created the town’s newest industry, floriculture. Dale’s nursery became Brampton’s largest employer and Brampton became known as the “Flower town of Canada.”
By the turn of the century, hundreds of acres of land were lined with greenhouses growing diverse flowers in abundance for export markets around the world.
The term “Flower City” comes from Dale’s booming, international flower business that was based right here in Brampton.
**Please note that the only entrance that will be open to visitors is the art gallery, main street entrance where the outdoor banners and studios are located**
Organizer
PAMA
PAMA is an accessible, safe space for the diverse communities of the Region of Peel (Brampton, Caledon and Mississauga) to come together and celebrate arts and culture. We strive to be a place where you can see yourself reflected and actively contribute to building a “Community for Life”.
It’s a place to explore and learn about Peel's culture and heritage, as well as use conversation, questions and stories to help make new and fascinating connections to the surrounding community. PAMA offers a variety of workshops and programs for all ages, families, and adults. There is something for everyone.
Our buildings are our largest artifacts. The site is made of historic buildings: the Peel County Courthouse and Jail, the former Registry Office, and the Modernist Building.
