Educating truffle producers and consumers of Canada

On July 1, 2022, the Canada Truffle Association will hold a special community event, to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee.

A truffled Bur Oak (Quercus Macrocarpa) has been planted, and a garden is being developed to surround it, featuring a specially created mosaiculture.   This unique garden will be inaugurated by the Honorable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.

​

The oak tree is a symbol of longevity, in tribute to 70 years of loyal service rendered by the Queen, and the presence of truffles on the roots of the tree is a mark of appreciation for the late Prince Philip's interest in this amazing fungus.   

​

This special garden is created in collaboration with Puck's Garden, located at 3712 Maple Avenue, Prescott, Ontario.

Puck's Garden will open to the public from 2:00 p.m., and the dedication of the Queen's Garden will take place at 3:15 p.m. Afternoon tea, inspired by the menu created for the celebration of the Queen's Coronation in 1952, will be served.

​

Puck’s Garden is a being developed as a future botanical garden which will focus on the truffle.

This event is made possible through a financial contribution from the Government of Canada, as well as contributions from Ontario Truffles, Arborinnov, and Anderson Electrical.
