Market Lane Park

In 2003, the Toronto Parks and Trees Foundation invited the influential Canadian garden designers Nori and Sandra Pope to create a new planting in Market Lane Park, the pedestrian walkway adjacent to the North St. Lawrence Market Building in the historic St. Lawrence Market area, just west of King and Jarvis St. Market Lane Park is a City of Toronto Park.
The Pope’s single-colour planting at Hadspen Garden in England has brought international attention, but this represents the first time the Pope’s have created a garden design in Toronto.
To learn more about their approach to garden design look for their book Planting with colour (Conran Octopus) 2002.
This project was made possible through a partnership between The Toronto Parks and Trees Foundation, Loblaws, and Toronto Parks and Recreation. We wish to thank our sponsors for their generous donation of plant materials. Without their support, this project would not have been possible.

A complete list of the plant material provided by Loblaws for this garden is provided below:
1) Hosta ‘Sum and Substance’
2) Filipendula ulmaria ‘Aurea’ Golden Meadowsweet
3) Hosta ‘Minuteman’
4) Heuchera ‘Amber Waves’ Coral Bells
