Build Your Dream Garden With Us

Since the nursery opened in 1987 our goal has been to find and sell the plants that are worthy of a place in your garden. Initially we were dedicated to growing and selling only perennials. While perennials are still a major focus, we realized that a well designed garden also needs shrubs, conifers, trees, annuals, succulents and even some garden art.

Our plant selection is continually expanding so that we can now offer everything you need to build your dream garden. From its inception we were determined that our nursery would be much more than rows of pots on a bench. We started building display gardens when the nursery opened and we have been working on them ever since.

From our location just outside of Almonte, in the beautiful Ottawa Valley we are easily accessible to gardeners from Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec.

If we can’t grow it, we don’t sell it

We carry many newly released varieties as well as the tried and true plants that have proven to be great performers. Visitors to the gardens really enjoy comparing the newest coneflowers side by side in one bed, and so have the butterflies. We also have a Heuchera test area as well as many unusual plants that are being evaluated for hardiness and performance.

We test them so you don’t have to.

For many years we have attracted Daylily collectors from all over Ontario and Quebec. We grow over 600 varieties of daylilies in our 2 acre field. Daylilies from these fields are now growing all over Canada. There is even a newly planted bed on Parliament HIll. Our daylilies are guaranteed to be healthy and hardy because we raise them here. If they are not tough enough to survive in our wind-swept field they never make it to the sales bench.

Every year we add new varieties of daylilies to our collection and eliminate those that don’t have the characteristics we consider important in a good daylily.  We are particulaly interested in finding daylilies with good branching and a high bud count as well as those that will be repeat bloomers in our area. These daylilies will provide the longest bloom time and put on a great show in your garden.

We also have a passion for hostas and shade plants.

In our shady display garden we grow over 400 hostas as well as many rare and unusual shade plants collected in our lifetime of gardening. We offer an extensive selection of hostas for sale every year and are always looking for the best new introductions of hostas and companion perennials for your shady sites.

Our friendly and knowledgeable staff are available to assist you with your gardening questions.

We can help you find one plant for a specific spot or suggest combinations for larger areas. We also offer, by appointment, an on-site design service using our amazing 3D garden design software. For more information about this service please email us. Our display gardens are a wonderful resource for beginning as well as experienced gardeners. You don’t have to rely on a pot label for information. In many cases we can show you a mature plant in the garden. You can also look for plant combinations that you like or see what is blooming throughout the season.
Gardening is our passion. Let us share that passion with you.

If you are in the Ottawa area, please come and visit us.
