Hi Rob,

This time of year is busy for us here at the garden center; building and designing planters and evergreen centerpieces, teaching workshops, wrapping plants, and helping customers with their holiday shopping & decorating...and you know what? We love every minute of it! We have really enjoyed seeing all of you back at the workshops with smiling faces.

New seasonal plants are arriving every week. The Norfolk Pines that just arrived are so cute. They make the perfect mini Christmas tree and an easy-to-care-for houseplant. Many of you have asked for Venus flytraps for kids we just received them yesterday, they sell out fast so call us and we can hold one if you can't get in. We will continue to have holiday plants in all sizes and prices for decorating your homes or taking them as hostess gifts through December.

Thanks for Your Support

When a customer gave us a 2-star Google review last week because our 'merchandise was too pricey' it got me thinking.....

Operating an independent garden center is challenging, we won't lie, especially with costs rising all around us but when you choose to shop here there are some things you might want to know; All of our greens are sourced from a local fellow who cuts them all himself, locally. All of our evergreen planters, centerpieces, and bundles are made fresh daily( not in October) right here by our team of elves who also all live here with their families locally. Every workshop is designed, organized and taught by us. Our holiday plants are grown only in Ontario greenhouses. Every display and tree you see decorated we stayed late to set up. Every social media picture, post, and video is created by us. So in these trying times, we want to thank all of you who still choose to spend your hard-earned money with us ( and any other small local businesses) instead of the Big Box stores. We simply can't compete with their pricing & buying power. Thanks for all the feedback ( good & bad) we take all of it, every single comment & review into consideration.

Hope to see you soon!

Peace & Plants,

Kelly

Winter Urn Inspiration

Now that we have seen our first snowfall I thought I would include some urn designs we have been creating this season. Evergreen planters and urn inserts are made fresh daily at both of our locations. You can choose one already made or purchase an evergreen urn fresh bundle of greens or a premade 'Bling Your Own Planter' and then design it yourself from our huge selection of pine cones, berries, branches,balls and bling in all your favourite colours.

Natural elements in evergreen planters are one of our favourite. Magnolia leaves, wild rosehips and birch with burlap bows add winter magic

Our fav trendy planter combos this season include dusty rose, champagne with a touch of natural elements. Bougie vibes

Classic combos include burgundy cones along with white tipped. Dogwood, berries and matte red balls. Add one of our washed tin ornament balls for a rustic feel.

Oh buffalo plaid ..how we love thee! This ribbon is the perfect holiday statement that carries though the rest of the winter. Mixed with burgundy, natural and white tipped pine cones. Its a cosy countrty Christmas look!

Copper and natural make for a perfect winter season planter. These earthy tones with a bit of glitter create an upscale look that works well after the holidays. This poly burlap ribbon is a perfect low key accent.

These bright blue berries have been a fun lelemnt to work with this season. Mixing them with jumbo champagne pine cones & dark rattan balls add a sophisticated touch. Who needs a ribbon with all this magic!
