Welcome to 2021!
Our plants for 2021 are mostly on the website; some are missing pictures, and others (about 20-40 varieties of bulbs for spring and peonies for fall) still need to be added.
All plants are available for curbside pick-up in Halifax (Armdale Rotary area). Most (not all) of the plants are available by mail order, too.
New in 2021: delivery by truck in Halifax area. (Coming soon; the website is not configured yet to calculate shipping charges. Thanks for your patience.)
We are tax-free until January 29.
Check out our list of tree peonies, one of the largest in Canada!

For now roses (even bare root) are not eligible for shipping. This is an after-work hobby, and there is only a short window in time when the roses need to be packed and mailed. I might consider mailing just a few larger orders of roses this spring (5+ plants). Shipping would be calculated separately (not the flat-rate fee).
Happy gardening!
