We sell most of the amazing cut flower varieties we grow as seedlings, tubers, bulbs, roots etc.  so that you can grow them too! Subscribe to this newsletter to stay in the loop about wholesale AND retail sales.

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, and occassionally for – woodies (shrubs). 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 – but the smallest trays are 36 plugs, the largest are 385.
• Have a minimum dollar amount or a minimum number of trays you must spent to place your order (varies with shipping or pickup location)
• 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 2 main wholesale orders each year:

• ‘Cool Flower’ plugs & perennials: Order in June for pickup at the St. Agatha location in late August.
• 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 for pickup in St. Agatha in May, and $800 minimum for pickup in St. Agatha in April; or 4 tray minimum (from each supplier) for shipping (cross Canada). In 2025, there will also be pickup spots in Kemptville, Pickering and Grey-Bruce. These are on-line orders only. And you will see, and be able to choose from all of the above shops online. Online orders will open the beginning of September for spring 2025. Orders close mid October.

The shop are open at this link . Order by October 15.

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 typically have:

• Spring seedlings sale (2 inch pots of many cut flower annuals + perennials): on-line purchase and in-person shopping. Dates for 2025 will be posted here – but typically its the May long weekend.
• Summer perennial sale (larger pots of various perennials – focusing on cut flower varieties, plus some shrubs and roses). In person sales only – August In person only – August 16/17, and 23/24.

So its A LOT to keep track of – right? Thats why you want to subscribe to this newsletter. We always send out a notice when sales are opening and closing, and when in-person events are happening.
There is also a SLACK CHANNEL to discuss wholesale orders specifically (not for retail orders). Feel free to join that – and go to the spring-2025 channel.
