Horticultural Division
The Horticultural Division plants and maintains over 500 barrels and 500 hanging baskets in 4 floral streetscapes in Thornhill (Yonge Street), Unionville (Main Street Unionville), Markham Village (Main Street Markham) and Milliken Mills (Kennedy Road at Denison). This spectacular show of colour is cultivated in our greenhouses in early spring and put out onto the streets in June. The barrels and baskets remain on the streets until the first heavy frosts in the fall.

Urban Forestry Division
The Urban Forestry Division is responsible for maintenance of trees on the Town maintained boulevards after the Town's assumption of subdivisions. For additional information or inquiries call the Town of Markham Contact Centre at 905-415-7535. They will make a record of your call and an urban forester will contact you at a later date.

Street trees are pruned in the late fall, winter and early spring on an ongoing block pruning program. Trees deemed by Town arborists as a "hazard" are pruned or removed immediately.
