The Monica van Maris Women of Influence Award was presented to Sonia Day at the Toronto Botanical Garden’s Blossom Party, May 29, 2018. In true Sonia fashion, Day accepted the honour with a light-hearted, witty speech reminiscent of her Toronto Star column and published works.

Set in the magical gardens of the Toronto Botanical Garden, this annual event (formerly known as Women to Women), was a delight for everyone’s eyes and taste buds. Many guests wore their most creative hats and fascinators, enjoyed specialty foods, sweet delights, popup spas and whimsical dancers.

The Monica van Maris Women of Influence Award recipient is chosen by industry peers who feel the candidate has made a significant contribution and influential impact on the green professions. The inaugural award was presented to Monica van Maris at the 2017 event.
