We sell wholesale quantities for cut flower farmers.  And we also sell retail quantities for anyone who wants a gorgeous cutting flower garden.

This page has information for Wholesale Orders and Retail Orders. Make sure you are following along in the correct section.

Wholesale Orders

We take wholesale orders for: plugs (little seedlings), bare roots (just the plant root), tubers, bulbs, woodies (shrubs), roses etc. Wholesale orders are VERY different from retail orders. These orders:

• Are placed months before you will be planting the crop – so you must plan well in advance
• Have minimum numbers of plugs, roots, tubers… for each variety – you can’t just order 5 or 10. Minimums are different for each variety.
• Have a minimum dollar amount you must spent to place your order (usually around $500 per order)
• Are seeded, grown and/or dug after you place your order (so there is no pre-existing inventory)
• Are often changed between the time you place the order and the time it arrives (seeding failure, harvest delays, shipping problems, etc). This is because the plants and roots are not sold from an existing inventory.
• Carry a significant ‘risk’ that some plugs/roots will not be viable. When you buy wholesale, you assume a few plants will not be viable. This is a volume based order.
• Are not guaranteed or refundable usually.
• Cannot be cancelled – your wholesale order is considered ‘firm’. You place it with us, and we get growers to start seeding it, or harvesting it for you.

We place 3 main wholesale orders each year:

• Specialty bulbs & peony roots (Alliums and specialty fall bulbs, ranunculus & anemone, peony roots): Online shop opens in May-June, for pickup in St. Agatha, or cross-Canada shipping in October. Preorders only – no last minute or in person sales.
• ‘Cool Flower’ plugs: Order in May-June for pickup at the St. Agatha location in late August, or cross-Canada shipping in August. Minimums apply (4 trays of 365 or 200 plugs depending on what you order. Includes (for example): cut flower campanula, stocks, snaps, larkspurs, feverfews, poppies..
• Annual plugs & perennials: Order in September-October for pickup in St. Agatha, other pickup locations across Canada (TBA), or cross-Canada Shipping in spring 2025. Preorders only – no last minute or in person sales. $500 per order minimum + 4 tray minimum for shipping (cross Canada).

Retail Orders

If you are looking for smaller quantities, we also have the following online and in-person sales each year. These orders:

• Have no order minimums
• Are paid for at the time of ordering
• Have some in-person shopping from existing inventory (so when its gone, its gone) – but only on the dates given (we are not open at other times)

We will be having the following sales in the 2024 season:

• Spring seedlings sale (2 inch pots of many cut flower annuals + perennials): In person shopping is May 17 – 19. If stock remains, we will re-open May 24. You can just drop in to look, or if you want to make sure we have what you want, we will open an on-line store for pre-purchases in late April. Pre-purchases are paid by credit at store checkout. In-Person purchases are cash or e-transfer. We will not post a list of everything – but you can go to the online shop to browse what we have.
