Unfortunately given the ag shipping/importing restrictions you will have to buy them from one of the companies that has a standing inspection certificate with Canada. That means extra shipping fees plus the high costs of shipping to begin with. Territorial Seed Company is one that has them and will ship to Canada Tomato Growers.com is another None of the Canadian-based seed companies list them that I can find. Even Tatiana's doesn't list them for this year. Dave

I can't tell if the leaves are compound or not from your picture... If so, Walnut? Do you have one growing nearby that could have been squirrel-planted?

As Patricia points out, these are all SUBCONTRACTOR jobs. A General Contractor would simply subcontract to a list of guys they have on speed dial. The marble = stone mason. The ceiling = drywallers (cause once you take down the stucco, you need to FIX the damage done). Painters for the final coats (ceiling/walls). Upholstery can be sourced through furniture makers or through designers themselves. A General Contractor will then add 25% for their fees in putting together a project like this. A properly trained designer can do all of this themselves with the same type of mark-up for finding all the talent. If they are then asked to put together a DESIGN package that goes with all this work = another fee for their ideas. If you reach out to all the subcontractors, you will get "final price" as if you were a homeowner who will ONLY do one project (one house = one project). If you are looking to build a "team" of contractors that you are looking for as a "gang" to call when you begin bringing in clients, then their price will drop because you will offer them work on multiple projects. But you will NOT get those "better prices" until they have worked with you a few times. They don't know you and you don't know them....so nothing is going to become "beneficial" to either of you until you have several projects under your belt. Whew. Lots to know isn't there? And yes....it isn't about what you know, it is about WHO you know. As frustrating as it is...it still rings true in today's digital world.
