Warden Avenue is a major north-south thoroughfare in Toronto and York Region Running from the city's northern boundary to its southern limits, it serves as a key transportation corridor for residents and commuters. Warden Avenue intersects with several major east-west streets, including St. Clair Avenue, Eglinton Avenue, Lawrence Avenue, Sheppard Avenue, and Finch Avenue. The avenue is home to a diverse mix of residential, commercial, and industrial areas, and it is served by the Toronto subway system at Warden station on Line 2 Bloor-Danforth.
Warden begins as a two-lane residential street two blocks south of Kingston Road, becoming a 4-lane road when it reaches Danforth Avenue. North beyond the Toronto boundary at Steeles Avenue, the area becomes York Region, where Warden is also called York Regional Road 65. In Georgina, the road becomes Civic Centre Road.
The road passes through a low-density residential and commercial area from Steeles to 14th Avenue, increasing to medium-density at the intersection with 14th Avenue, and becomes high-density in Downtown Markham from Highway 407 to Highway 7. [1]
Originally rural, it is now mainly residential along the road, with occasional commercial developments where it meets other major intersections, such as Eglinton Town Centre at Eglinton Avenue and Bridlewood Mall at Finch Avenue; the Ashtonbee campus of Centennial College is also located near the former. Industrial areas are being rezoned between Danforth and Eglinton, which were initially developed as World War II munitions plants.[2]
Name
[edit]Warden Avenue is named after Warden House found on Warden Avenue in Markham, Ontario. It is the north-south lot division of lots 31 and 32, of the former Township of Scarbrough, and was surveyed in 1865.[3]
Public transit
[edit]TTC bus routes that run along Warden Avenue include 68 Warden, 69 Warden South, 135 Gerrard, and 324 Victoria Park (Blue Night). Warden Station is located on St. Clair Avenue.
Route 68 starts at Warden Station and ends at an off-street loop just beyond Steeles Avenue. Route 68B travels into York Region. Night bus service is provided between Steeles and Sheppard, as well as at Danforth, as a connector between routes 300 and 302.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
