National Post Talks Sweetpea's & Canada Blooms

We are absolutely thrilled to be featured in an article written by Peter Kuitenbrouwer in The National Post. Canada Blooms has proven to be a great success and we are so thankful that we were able to be a part of it all. It took a lot of hard work but everything has paid off and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our floral display featured a twelve foot tall magnolia tree covered in buds which will soon become luscious pink blooms. Perched on the tree you will find dozens of origami paper cranes. As a backdrop we created a wall covered in aspidistra leaves to truly give our space a green feeling. Coming out of the wall were copious amounts of origami dragonflies bursting into flight. We used an antique urn to do our featured arrangement which included Protea, Craspedia and pink orichids. And finally, the base of our display was a bed of Heuchera nestled in moss and surrounded by an antique barn borad frame. 


Again, another thanks for all of your support and to  Peter from the National Post.

"The next display, by Sweetpea's, a florist on Roncesvalles Avenue, seemed to attract the most gawkers: their installation features a magnolia branch in bud peppered with dozens of peach-coloured origami swans." -Peter Kuitenbrouwer, The National Post

Canada Blooms

It's here, it's here! It has been a hectic month trying to put together our floral design display for Canada Blooms but I must say it is looking fabulous and the hard work was definitely worth while. We are still selling tickets at the advance ticket price of $16.00 and we have plenty left. A couple of sweetpeas will be helping out at the Nincompoop booth so be sure to come say hi! We look forward to seeing you and hope you enjoy our floral design display. Keep an eye out for pictures in an upcoming blog post.
