Continue ShoppingThis past summer we were amazed how many people from our area came to visit us at our new farm stand. We even got to know several “regulars” who stopped in often for flowers, or produce, or sometimes just a quick conversation. We have to admit, we had a blast for our first summer with a farm stand here halfway between Cookstown and Alliston. Our little farm stand grew week by week and we entertained more and more people too. When things weren’t too busy people often asked Heidi about flowers, and about growing vegetables, and more often than not, the conversation would grow with the next customer to drive in.
One conversation piece that always comes up is how giving flowers or getting a bouquet makes people feel. Think about it, flowers are an emotional gift. Mostly our flowers are around for happy occasions. They are go-to gifts when celebrating; anniversaries, birthdays, engagements, retirements, or just to make someone feel better.. They are the gift you pick up when saying thank you; for a dinner invite, for doing something special without being asked.
So for 2021 we are expanding our gardens for you to enjoy on a whole new level. We invite you to come and meander a special garden, over an acre in size, that you can sift through thousands of flowers to find your very own bouquet. Our Cutting Garden will open as soon as mother nature allows in 2021. Imagine how you will feel lazing in the sunshine while the perfumed aroma of row upon row of flowers rush to greet you. This is relaxation on a whole new level. We know many of our visitors last summer were looking for an escape from the confines of the pandemic, well this absolutely qualifies as your answer.
So Day 7 of our Twenty-Four Days of Giveaways is a VIP Voucher for Two to enjoy our Cutting Garden anytime next growing season. You and a friend will come to the farm, only needing only appropriate footwear and we will do the rest. We will provide full instruction on how to cut our lovely blooms, and how to best care for them after you leave. As an additional bonus you’ll receive a $10 off gift card for use at our Farm Stand. You'll need a couple of hours for you and a friend to enjoy this entire package.
We have a great selection of floral experiences here that are perfect for the flower lover in your life.

Yes, flowers are emotional. My mom lived for her garden. She’d be outside at the first stroke of Spring and I can remember her spending Summer nights til sunset tending to her roses. Us kids would learn to eat grilled cheese sandwiches and let mom be.
My love affair started when I was in grade 3. Mom let me plant violets in a small garden patch. They slowly took over and crept into the lawn over the years but mom wasn’t upset, she let it be. Thanks mom.

The only memories I have of being outside and looking at flowers are positive and hopeful. The vibrant colours, the intoxicating scents, and the feeling of utmost relaxation laying in the warm July grass are my favourite parts of summer. I prefer to watch flowers grow, but when a special occassion arises, freshly cut flowers arranged with a bow, some tissue paper, and a ribbon, I can’t help but spoil the ones I love. One special occassion will always stand out to me: I bought a bouquet for my husband on our first year anniversary and between his ear to ear smiles told me that I was the first girl to buy him flowers. I have since made it a habit to buy him more bouquets of flowers. ☺️💐
