Plant Sales
Why should I buy plants at a Plant Sale?
- Some of the best gardeners in the county are members of the horticultural societies. They divide and donate plants from their own gardens.
- The plants have proven to grow successfully in our climate. If they didn't the gardeners have none to donate.
- The Horticultural Societies develop and care for many of the beautiful gardens across the county and their tireless work makes our home towns a better place to live. Funds raised at Plant Sales support these efforts.
- The plants are offered at a price you will not find anywhere else.
- There is always a wide range of perennials, some you will not find at any garden centre. Sometimes there are roses, trees and shrubs and lots of vegetable bedding plants.
In addition to the Horticultural Society Sales, we have included information about two Ottawa based plant sales:
- The Native Plant Sale sponsored by Fletcher Wildlife Garden.
- The Rare and Unusual Plant Sale sponsored by the Friends of the Farm (Central Experimental Farm.
Hope to see you at one of the sales.

Edible Garden Newsletter February 2018
The Edible Garden Newsletter February 2018 is now here. The days are finally starting to get longer and gardeners are planning what they can plant indoors to get a faster start when spring arrives. In this issue we discuss lighting, whether it is from a sunny window or from grow lights and how you can use it to get your plants off to an excellent start. If you are planting your vegetable garden in containers or on a balcony, we have some helpful tips. Although the days are getting longer, we still have more winter left and it is a great time to experiment with using the parts of your vegetables you would normally put in the compost bin to grow more. Finally, a housebound gardener tells of a Fava Bean experiment that led to a delicious soup.
