Dear neighbours and customers. Apologies for the very belated announcement. A rainy day seems like the right moment.. The Garden Next Door is on hiatus this season. Letting my thoughts - and my gardens - grow a little wild for now. I hope to be back next season with my full subscription service of locally grown flowers.

A last few blooms from our local field farmers before the cold sets in. Dahlias with delicate japanese anemones.

Help yourself to locally grown dahlia’s from my porch at 29 Hendrick Ave. Pop a toonie in the mailbox if you’re able - I’ll put it towards my end of season community contribution.

I love working with “mixed buckets” assembled by our growers. Boyh of these subscription jars are from the same bucket of ”cool colours”, grown by the incomparable Garden Party Flower Farm in St. Agatha.

One of the beauties of working with local, ecologically grown flowers is knowing that the stems I use have been feeding pollinators while they were in the friends. Problem is that sometimes an uninvited guest hitches a ride back to my flower fridge…

Monarch eggs are tiny so this guy didn’t show himself until the jar was on my customer’s table. She was delighted and sent me a pic. But I’m wondering whether others might prefer their flower
jars less… “lively”…?
