Pond in our front yard

Lots of gifts for mom ❤

Mother’s Day Weekend

May 11^th and 12^th

With all the great changes lately at The Glasshouse, I doubt we could make it any easier for you to shop for Mom. Here’s just a few ideas to help you out: a beautiful Flowering Tree, a new outfit from Betula Boutique, and overflowing Hanging Basket or Planter, a Bistro Set or a Gift Certificate with Garden Club Membership attached so she’ll save every time she returns to shop at The Glasshouse.

Victoria Day Weekend

May 18^th, 19^th and 20^th

It’s planting weekend! Come out and see the kaleidoscope of colour in our greenhouses. Choose from the newest varieties of annuals and perennials available. You’ll always find them at The Glasshouse first.

Shade Gardening with Success

Saturday, June 1^st at 10am

The one question most asked by our customers… “What can I plant in the shade?” There are so many plants that will thrive in these areas but unfortunately I see the wrong ones planted so often. Join John and Wendy for a discussion in successful shade gardening. Shade loving plants for your planters and hanging baskets will also be discussed. We’ll have those areas flourishing with abundant colour.

Call: 519.352.1127 to reserve your spot.

** Additional seminars/events may be added to the calendar so be sure to watch for any updates on Facebook or Twitter.
