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!

Our New Ad Campaigns For Landscaping!

Hello Spring!

Happy happy Spring! You are here finally and we have missed you. As we gear up for Garden season we have filled the sidewalk with lovely blooms of all shapes and sizes and the store is filled with spring bouquets. We are also anxious for Easter which is always fun and cheery when your in a flower shop.

"♥ Your Garden! (hate the maintenance?)"

The sun is shiny, the birds are singing, the snow is melting - and all that garbage from the winter is littering the garden. Nuts. Not to worry . . . We are starting to book for Spring garden clean-ups - if you are interested in having us come by, call the shop and we can pop over the next... week or two. We'll cut down what needs to be cut down. Rake, tidy, mulch, whatever you might need. Very affordable rates, no power tools, just good, ol' fashion hard work.

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
