We Offer Hundreds of Varieties of Annuals, Perennials, Flowering Shrubs, Houseplants and Water Plants Every Year

Many of our plants are grown here, on site, in our greenhouses. Plants we do not grow have been carefully selected from reputable Ontario growers who take pride in their products and ship with care and environmental considerations. Our stock varies by season, so regular visits are encouraged to see our recommendations of what’s fresh and new, in stock.


Combine our unique selection of high-quality plants with expert advice from the knowledgeable and friendly Griffin’s Gang and you have the recipe for success!

Perennials and Flowering Shrubs

 Returning Year After Year

We carefully select the best perennials for our zone (zone 5a/b) from several reputable Ontario perennial plant growers. These plants are delivered fresh weekly, inspected for quality and cared for on our benches. We continue to bring in fresh perennials beyond the obvious season (May and June), striving to have stock with a succession of bloom throughout the Spring, Summer and Fall. Our displays are organized as Perennials for Sun, Perennials for Shade, Perennial Grasses, Ground Covers and Flowering Shrubs. We offer a section for Native Perennials which we plan to grow and expand each year as we learn more about these important ecologically friendly plants.

 

We strive to not sell invasive species and continue to research and learn about how to best identify these plants, many of which are common in our landscapes. Like you, we are always learning and we welcome any questions you may have about our perennial offerings, in any season.

 

We are confident in our Perennials and Flowering Shrubs and offer a One Year Guarantee on perennials purchased at full price.

Annuals

One Season of Beauty

We love annuals and grow and stock hundreds of varieties! From thousands of choices available we choose the best ones for colour, growth and vigour and longevity for your garden – and ours! Our favourites include: Dragon Wing Begonias, verbenas, Sunpatiens, coleus, meezoo and lotus vines, Tut grasses, tropical diplandenia, hibiscus, among so many others. Annuals can fill your flower beds, be tucked amid perennials for constant colour for the Summer or be used to create lovely container plantings. We offer a variety of sizes: cell packs, 4.5” pots, 6.5” pots and one gallon pots of colourful annuals.

 

The versatility of annuals is what makes them so special. Combinations can be simple and easy to care for or spectacular and unique. Our staff love container gardening and are inspired with ideas to share with you, for your patio pots, window boxes and hanging baskets. Great ideas for combos can be found by walking our beautiful Display Garden, June – September.

 

If you’d rather, we do offer a Custom Planting Program.

Gifts and Décor

We focus on horticulturally inspired product as the main theme for our gift and décor selection. In all of our buying we look to florals and gardens for inspiration. Touring around our unique Barn Store you will see pots for houseplants, small garden ornaments or plaques for those who have left us, cardinals, birdbaths, floral coasters, indoor/outdoor wall décor and so much more. 

 

We also look to the seasons for inspiration and have a lovely stock of gifts and decor for Easter, Summer, Fall/Harvest and Winter/Holiday. We observe trends in colour and home décor when making our final selections of items to share with you.

Soils and Fertilizers

We proudly carry the Canadian brand of soils, Fafard. Our most popular item is “BioSol” (aka Sea Compost) – we are actually one of the largest sellers of it in Ontario! It is an exceptional soil additive that is nutrient rich. Kyle calls it “jet fuel for your garden”! 

 

Other soils include: Black Earth, Container Mix, Triple Mix, Organic Urban Vegetable Mix and Natural Cedar Mulch.

 

We strongly recommend fertilizing your plants, so they look like ours! We offer “Jack’s “ brand of fertilizer, along with additional natural options, like fish emulsion. We also carry the “Safer’s” brand of pest control’; we offer no chemical options in our store.

Veggies and Edibles

Yummo! We love edible plants, many of which are perennial, so have excellent value.

 

In April and early May we offer an extensive selection of berries: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, grapes, haskap, loganberry. At this time rhubarb is also available. Later in May, once the weather moderates, a full line of quality grown vegetables and herbs is available. The list of varieties is extensive and we invite you to visit often to choose your favourites. 

 

We do not offer organic edible options; even if delivered to us from an organic grower, we can not maintain organic certification once they arrive here. That’s not to say we use chemicals here (we don’t), but we do use fertilizers in our watering system that are not certified organic, thus compromising the organic status. You CAN be confident that our veggie and herb choices are Ontario grown, healthy, robust, high yielding and non-GMO.

 

In this category we also stock accompaniments to these plants, like tomato cages, other plant supports and soil additives.

Houseplants

Our selection of houseplants changes often! You will have to visit to see if we have one you don’t already have in our window sills! 

 

We have the most selection of houseplants in early Spring (March/April) and then again July through to November. During our busy months (May, June), we don’t have room to stock more than just the basics. Some of our favourites include: ZZ, sansevieria, violets, philodendron, pothos, and dracaena. Three times a year, we fly in a beautiful selection of Air Plants from California. 

 

Accompaniments for our houseplants include watering devices, soils, pots, non-chemical pest control, leaf shine and decorative accents.
