A bit about us: 

From The Potting Shed's owner, Elaine Martin, started her career in the fashion industry as a fashion buyer and vice-president of a leading Canadian fashion retailer. Her organic soft approach can be attributed to growing up in a large rural garden in Southern Ontario. As well, much of her floral influence comes from time spent in Provence, France. 

For several seasons Elaine co-produced and hosted Canada's first Home & Garden television show, which appeared eight times per week on Life Network - what is now HGTV. 

Elaine has been a writer and has been 
featured in many magazines in both Canada and the USA. 

From the Potting Shed was the in-house florist for Langdon Hall for three consecutive years & has been named in the Best List by Wedding Bells Magazine.
Class size limited to 10 students, so don't wait too long to book!
