Crop Diversity Canada
Celebrating Diversity in garden, farm, and field
Welcome to Crop Diversity Canada!
Canada’s official exhibition for Botanical Art Worldwide 2025 runs until June 30, 2025.
About the exhibition
This exhibition showcases beautiful artworks of heritage crops and crop wild relatives from botanical artists across the country. From luminous fruits and vegetables to hearty grains and legumes, these paintings will delight your senses and your mind. We invite you to explore these important Canadian crops and learn about the artists and their inspiration behind the works.
Canada is the second-largest country in the world and ranges from coastal rainforest to grasslands to savannah forests and alpine tundra. Canadians rely on the abundance of the land for their harvests as well as subsistence and are working to safeguard the genetic diversity of crops and crop-wild relatives for future generations.

artwork
Shepherdia canadensis is a shrub found across much of Canada. Its berries, initially bitter, are a food source for wildlife such as grizzly bears, black bears, and ruffed grouse. The berries sweeten a little after several frosts. First Nation people were known to have combined them with dried buffalo meat to make pemmican, a portable, long-lasting high-energy food.
