On The Patio 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🪴🌴

Coming up in just 10 days!

I will be there with Native seeds and plants!

If you're on this part of the Island come on out and support the community 🌱🌳

Unfortunately the best voice has been through Facebook and native plant groups, I really want to quit it, but then where.

BlueSky isn’t catching on the way I would like.

Heads up.

Sounds good!

You know where to find me!

Erin, I usually have an abundance of seeds that I don't sell. I would be happy to donate some to get things started. Let me know.

Just a few more weeks!!!

Spring is in the air! 🪴🪴🪴

Packaging more seeds for the Seedy Sunday and Saturday events coming up in March.

Also available for shipping in Canada.

Full list of Native plant and Non native plant seeds available at www.onthepatio.ca

All seeds are from locally grown plants.

The colours of fall ❤️

I will be open until the end of November this year! There is still lots of time to get your gardening done. Fall is the best time to get your trees, shrubs, perennials and some seed in the ground!

Still a couple Cedar Farmers Markets (Oct 26 and Nov 9), otherwise Open Wed to Sun 10 - 4.

There is just something about this time of year!

We grow for the wildlife.

The Chickadees have been feasting this fall! ❤️

It’s been a busy time collecting, sorting, and packing seeds! Native and non-native seeds are available. Go to www.onthepatio.ca for a list 🌱

A few flowers in the garden

Empress Wu seedlings. They are coming up large, so there is a definite influence! Can’t be sure it is 100% true as I have so many Hostas 🪴

So much happening at the Nursery these days!

Lots of inventory and starting the Cedar Farmers Market on Mother’s Day! May 11!

I will be there every Sunday until October 26! And a Xmas Market in November! Live Xmas Trees 🌲

Ferns, ferns, and more ferns! And a lot of other native plants too! And non native ones!

Now open Wednesday to Sunday 10-4
