Testimonials
Everything in our veggie garden comes from these guys. Great value and seedlings always perform very well! Those wrapped newspaper seedlings deals are 100% unbeatable in value! Highly recommend.
Alex M.
Had a great day finding plants for my new garden Very helpful staff and a superb range of healthy plants. Highly recommend as plants sold here grow in our area.
Dianne B.
This nursery is awesome! They sell their seedlings in bulk, wrapped in newspaper. They are grown in garden beds so they are hardened off, ready for planting. I watched them dig up my seedlings and you should have seen the roots on them! More nursery’s need to follow their example of reducing their use of plastic pots #plasticfreejuly. I highly recommend this nursery, they also had such a great variety of herbs and plants that can be difficult to find in most nursery’s, like comfrey and cape gooseberry’s.
Kerry B.
I have been visiting this nursery for over thirty years, and always am impressed with the plants, and the whole nursery, as well as excellent service.

We also provide free soil testing and expert tips on everything from pest management and pruning to plant placement and climate suitability. On the florist side, we design fresh, thoughtful arrangements for birthdays, weddings, sympathy gestures and everything in between, with delivery options available across Wingham and surrounding areas.
