An Autumn Welcome

The signs of fall are all around us! Cooler temperatures, changing leaves, and the sun is setting a little earlier these days.

We thank all of our wonderful customers and friends for your continued support!

You know fall has arrived at Dufferin Garden Centre when the mums are in stock, fall jackets and hats are in the gift shop, the bulbs have arrived, and our Winter Workshop schedule has been posted!

This weather is perfect for fall planting. The days are still nice and warm, the evenings are a little cooler and there is more precipitation in the forecast! This is the season for planning and planting. Planning for spring colour with bulbs to be planted now. Don’t forget any perennials that need dividing, shrubs to be transplanted and new gardens to be dug, now is the time!

Visit the Dufferin Garden Centre for all your garden needs to transform your outdoor and indoor living spaces. Welcome to Autumn!

Fall Hours:

Monday – Saturday: 9:00am – 5:00pm

Spring forward... plant fall bulbs now for outstanding spring blooms!

Now is the time to plan for a beautiful show of colour with spring-flowering bulbs.

Every bulb has its own period of bloom. With the information on the labels and bit of planning, you will be able to enjoy your displays of colour from the beginning of spring right through until May or June.

Pure Hen Manure by Acti-Sol

Hen manure is the only fertilizer that naturally contains calcium.

Acti-Sol fertilizers made from hen manure are 100% natural.

Hen manure increases the quantity of organic matter in the soil, improves biological activity and water retention. It's great for planting with bulbs as it's been known to keep the squirrels away!

Pure Hen Manure is available at the Dufferin Garden Centre.

Mum's The Word

The fall flowering chrysanthemums are a wonder accent in the garden with colours of pinks, purples, reds, ambers and gold.

Try mixing them in a planter with an ornamental grass, flower kale and coral bells.

Indoor Gardening

Just because the temperatures drop, does not mean we need to hang up our trowels!

It’s time to bring the houseplants inside from the porch, deck, pool and enjoy them from the inside the comfort of our home. Be sure to eliminate any pests that have made their homes on the leaves.

Needing to add to your collection of Tropicals? It’s that time of year when Dufferin Garden Centre fills up the Hot House with all sorts of plants. Photosynthesis (how plants make food) converts light into sugars and feeds the plant and in the process takes carbon dioxide from the air and gives off oxygen - lucky us!
