DIY Floral Crafts for Canada Day: Celebrate July 1st in Full Bloom
Canada Day is a celebration of unity, culture, and national pride. While barbecues, fireworks, and red-and-white outfits usually take center stage, flowers offer a softer yet deeply meaningful way to celebrate July 1st. With a little creativity, Canada Day flowers can transform your home, garden, or gathering into a vibrant expression of Canadian spirit.
At Tooka Florist in North Vancouver, we believe flowers are not just decorations—they are tools for self-expression, creativity, and connection. This year, elevate your celebration with hands-on DIY floral crafts inspired by Canada’s symbols, colors, and joyful energy.
