Hanging Baskets
Our hanging baskets feature custom-designed combinations of sun- and shade-tolerant plants, including fuchsias, begonias, and bacoppas. Available in sizes from 10" to 24", these arrangements maximize visual impact through color and texture. We pinch back plants to ensure bushier growth, delivering ready-to-display solutions for patios, porches, and gardens.
Perennial Selection
We curate perennials specifically adapted to Alberta's harsh climate, including daylilies, coneflowers, and ornamental grasses. Our inventory emphasizes winter-hardy varieties with deer-resistant properties and multi-season interest. Detailed zone information helps customers select plants that thrive in local conditions.
Earthworm Castings
Produced through onsite vermiculture using red wigglers and night crawlers, our earthworm castings enrich soil with nitrogen, phosphates, and beneficial microbes. This odorless, chemical-free fertilizer improves soil structure and plant health for both indoor and outdoor gardens.
Custom Container Designs
Customers can bring personal planters for custom spring arrangements, combining annuals, herbs, and succulents. Our team collaborates on design choices, ensuring cohesive color schemes and plant compatibility for unique, season-long displays.
Community Fundraising
We partner with local schools, sports teams, and nonprofits to create fundraising opportunities through plant sales. This program supports community initiatives while providing quality gardening products to participants' networks.
