The flowers are grown in Uxbridge, Ontario, just outside of Stouffville (approximately 45 minutes northeast of Toronto). Ecological gardening practices are used for flower production, and include sustainable methods for supporting the environment all along the way.
All of the garden beds are no-till, which helps to maintain rich soil. Areas of untouched natural garden space with wildflowers and native plants are left for pollinators and other garden visitors (like toads) to enjoy.
No flower variety is ever harvested completely so that there's always food and habitat in the garden for pollinators and beneficial insects to live out their full life cycle.
All flowers are grown from start to finish by hand. This is a benefit as plants get individual attention and the soil, and growing plan can be naturally amended as needed.
Supporting local and Canadian businesses is an ongoing priority and the flowers are grown from Ontario and Canadian seed suppliers. Any seedlings brought in come directly from local growers who produce their stock with care.
Using minimal water is an active practice, and this aim is supported by using all natural garden-grown mulch materials, plus 100% natural cedar and locally grown switchgrass. Most of our flower varieties are also drought tolerant.
