Hopefully you’ve been hanging on to all your garden centre receipts this year because the Home Renovation Tax Credit covers a number of garden related items. This is the perfect excuse to buy more plants! I’m planning on building a pond in the garden next year, so not only am I going to wait until the garden centres have their annual summer clearance sales, I’m also going to use my receipt for the tax credit. Who could ask for anything more?

So what landscaping projects and garden items qualify?
•    perennials
•    trees and shrubs
•    garden rocks
•    new sod
•    decks

•    ponds and waterfalls
•    garden sheds
•    large permanent garden ornaments
