Little Gardens

It is always a lovely alternative to cut flowers to do potted plant arrangement. No matter what the occasion is they are always lush, showy and beautiful. In some cases they are even used for sympathy arrangements so that the family can even take them apart and use the plants in their garden as a memory.  

Nonetheless, they can typically be enjoyed indoors for about a month but would be much happier outside on a patio. They can be made up for sun or shade and in any colour. Keep an eye out for our planting table on Roncesvalles and come say hi!

3rd Story Cakes

We have a dear friend in the neighbourhood who has been keeping really busy with her beautiful baby girl and her lovely business "3rd Story Cakes". She uses organic ingredients and always makes sure that everything on her cakes are edible. As wedding season approches be sure you give her a shout if you are in need of a cake for the big day. Take a look at her Facebook Page or feel free to email her at 3rdstorycakes@gmail.com.

 

Lovely Mummy Weekend

This was a weekend for the books. Mother's day was one of our busiest weekends yet and we are so thankful for all of your love and support. The flower of the weekend was definitely Peonies. There were about 300 Peonies brought in and they are more or less all gone. Don't worry though it is only the start of their season and shortly they will be a regular flower in the store for the season. Holidays just aren't holidays anymore without being in a flower shop they are a lot of fun and a lot of work but it is so nice to see so many fresh new faces along with our favorite regulars. Thanks again for your support guys we couldn't do it without you.

Easter came! It was lovely!

This past weekend was a gorgeous sunny easter weekend and it was so nice to see so many faces and make so many bouquets. Hydrangeas were also a big hit among hostess gifts and our whole store front was filled and emptied all within two days. Not to worry we are going shopping on Tuesday and will have plenty of more potted plants and Hydrangea. Another thing which is very exciting is that our garden center will be opening quite soon (first week of may) and we will have our backyard filled with hearty perennials and annuals for sun and shade.
Nonetheless, here are some of the arrangements we have been making for easter and spring; Nested Posies.

Sweetpea's has Sweetpeas!

We brought in some very whimsical and very fragrant Sweetpeas this week for a custom order and thought that we would share them with you! Keep in mind that if you ever have a special flower in mind for that special someone we can always do our best to do a custom order to get them in for you as long as they are available at market.
