Here’s some ‘food for thought’ - Somewhere between 75% and 95% of all flowering plants on the earth need help with pollination – they need pollinators to reproduce. Since pollinators provide pollination services to over 180,000 different plant species and more than 1200 crops, this means that 1 out of every 3 bites of food you eat is because of pollinators. This nearly invisible ecosystem service is a precious resource that requires attention and support.

Planting more flowering plants is an easy way that home gardeners can help support this ecosystem. We have put together a Pollinator Paradise display of plants that specifically attract pollinators, so if you are looking to add a few more pollinator friendly plants to your garden, you can easily pick up a few. Our display is buzzing with life, with new flowers starting to bloom each day!

We still have a great selection of all our plants – perennials, annuals, veggies, herbs, fruit bushes, hanging baskets and planters. We have grown plenty and everything is looking really healthy. If you haven’t been able to make it to the farm yet this year, please come by soon.

Thanks to all who have been referring us to friends and family. Since we are not on a major road or town, we rely very much on word of mouth and recommendations to let people know we are here. We appreciate each and every customer that visits us. As we have been doing for the past 29 years, we hope to help make your trip here productive, informative and fun!

We have grown spreading Zinnias for many years now and they are often passed by in the greenhouses as they are typically sold green or in bud and are just not as eye catching as other flowering plants. Do not pass this plant by again! Profusion Zinnias come in both double and single flowers and a wide range of bright colours. Once planted and established in your garden, they will put on a show stopping performance! Growing to about 12” high and 18” wide, they will be covered in masses of bright and sturdy flowers all season long.

Some of the fabulous flower colours include orange, hot cherry, fire, yellow, deep apricot, red and yellow bicolour and deep salmon. We plant these beauties in the Angus street planters and each year they thrive in the harsh roadside conditions. Just plant yours in full sun, fertilize, keep watered and watch them take off!

Allium Millenium is an ornamental onion that flowers mid summer. Plants form a compact, neat upright clump of glossy green leaves.

In late July and August a profusion of large 2” globe shaped rosy purple flower clusters appear just above the foliage. Many customers admire our spring flowering Allium varieties in our display gardens at the farm. This variety is shorter, only growing 15-20” tall and flowers in the summer, but has similar striking globe shaped flowers. Bees and butterflies adore the flowers’ sweet nectar but deer and rabbits steer clear. Find a sunny spot for this perennial beauty.

We have really got creative with this season’s herb and veggie planters, putting together various combos. These planters are great both for balcony or patio gardeners or just to keep close by as an easy source of meal ingredients. They also make an awesome hostess gift! We have grown several different combos – all consisting of easy to grow varieties that perform well in pots. Harvest healthy greens from our Mixed Kale Planters all season long – just cut and they will regrow. Our Patio Tomato Pot is a combination of 3 types of dwarf Tomato that will fruit all season long.

We have several combinations of Mixed Herbs and Edible Flowers which are great for the cook in the family to keep close for a steady supply of fresh herbs. We have even incorporated a mini Eggplant and mini Sweet Pepper into one combo. Of course, if you are inspired by our combos, but fancy something different, why not plant your own – we have a good selection of herbs and veggies to choose from and are happy to help!
