Open by appointment through the summer
Although our 2021 'regular' season has now drawn to a close, we remain open by appointment through the summer. We have a great selection of shrubs and perennials available and with a private shopping experience thrown in, what more could you ask for?! Please email us or call 705-424-9319 to set up an appointment to purchase perennials or shrubs.
Fertilize your annuals!
So now you have your annuals planted – either in the ground or containers. Believe it or not the most important care that you can give them is not deadheading or other pampering – it’s fertilizing. There are two types of fertilizer that you can use. Slow release granules are placed on the soil or mixed in slightly and release food slowly over the course of the season. All our planters and hanging baskets have slow release fertilizer added, but it would be best to add more once or twice through the season, especially if the plants are heavy feeders such as Petunias.

The second method of fertilizing is with soluble fertilizer. This is a soluble powder that is mixed with water and applied at least once a week. At the farm we fertilize with every watering and you can do this too. A combination of these two types of fertilizer is ideal for annuals and will give you fabulous blooms and strong healthy growth until or even after frost hits.
Our Potcycle Policy
Bring back your empty pots and trays

We are always happy to reuse our own pots and reduce the need for using new plastic and we appreciate our customers thinking and acting on the issue too. A few things to remember, please!

  1. We can only reuse our own containers. Please do not bring us any containers that you did not purchase from here. If you do, we have the costs of sorting unusable containers and then have to dispose of them ourselves, which is not appreciated.
  2. Do not return broken pots or trays. Again, we only end up having to dispose of them ourselves.
  3. Please do not leave on our driveway or at our gate. Call the phone number indicated on our sign so that we can show you where to put the containers.

Thanks for your help! Every small action helps our planet!
Thank you 'Flower Team'
For powering through this year!

I’m sure that my feelings are similar to thousands of other small business owners across the country. We know that our employees are our greatest asset. Over the past 2 years, our team has demonstrated this day after day. I am blown away by their commitment, energy and love of this work, despite working through the serious challenges of a pandemic. This year has definitely been another rollercoaster ride, and a test of our abilities to become comfortable with the unknown, but I am proud that we did it together and we all stayed healthy. No matter your role, you are all important to making our 29th year of growing a success. We are so fortunate to know and work with you.

Thank you to all these wonderful people:
Shelley Beattie, Willow Cherewaty, Allison Fachnie, Darcia Fraser, Kelly French, Ben Martin, Dan Martin, Rosalyn Martin, Carter Neale, Kieron Rupke, Tehya Sheekey-Pollard and Keely Wilson

A humble thank you to our loyal customers
They say it take a village to raise a child… well, I say it takes a village to raise a business. Although we entered this 29th year of growing with a lot of uncertainty, one thing that was never uncertain was the loyalty of our customers.

We hope that we came up to your expectations and that despite the circumstances, we were able to offer you a safe, friendly and helpful shopping experience with excellent quality and variety of plants.
Please, take some extra time to enjoy your garden this summer and be grateful for the joy and peace that nature brings to our lives. Thank you dear customers.

Let's live in the hope of a garden!
