This marks the end of the 2020 season! We are left in awe at how fast the season went by. Thanks to all of you that made this year a great success.

Happy Canada daisy! Today is our last day of the season. We still have perennials, Gala apple trees, and some veggie transplants left. TAX FREE. Hope you enjoy the holiday safely.

Hope to see you at the Harbour 11am-5pm!

Just a friendly reminder to anyone who has already purchased baskets that they are available for pick up 11am-5pm daily. Thank you for supporting local business.

Gala apple (semi dwarf) grow to be 12-15 feet tall and 10-16 feet wide. Blooming in mid spring they attract hummingbirds, bees and butterflies. The fruit resists bruising and can be stored up to 6 months. Apple pies can be dropped off at our store anytime.

Some info on Euphorbia. Proven Winners has many great videos on plants.

Impatiens Vivid blossoms of rose, salmon, and white cover the plant from summer to fall. It will bloom reliably in heavy shade. This is an excellent container plant. Superb for beds in shady areas. Makes excellent winter houseplants.

Borage Its leaves, flowers and stalks are edible and taste a little like cucumber. Borage leaves are good in salads, yogourt or cream cheese mixtures, or served with shellfish. It also has medicinal uses.

Iris Beverly Sills is unsurpassed for a pink Iris in form, colour, and performance. Perennial. They are deer and rabbit resistant and quite drought tolerant once established. Growing 35 tall in full sun or part shade, they begin to bloom from late spring or early summer over a long blooming period.

Pansy (left) and Viola (right) both can be planted outside now and are in bloom ! Pansies tend to have larger blooms, usually 2-3 inches in diameter, in solid colors or with a face in the middle of the bloom. Viola flowers are much smaller, usually around the size of a nickel. However, they make up for their smaller faces with more prolific blooms and the fact they are incredibly weather tolerant.

Tomorrow (Friday) our doors will finally be open 11am-5pm daily. We are limiting the amount of people in at a time and following the social distancing rules. Please be patient with us as we try to serve everyone. Photo from 2019
