Conifer source in Ontario

7 years ago

Are there any Canadians here that can tell me any locations to buy rare and unusual conifers in Durham Region or close thereto?

Thanks

No, not Durham region but you could take a road trip to Vineland Nurseries (near St. Catherines) or Whistling Gardens (south of Paris)

Looking for a good Toronto, Ontario source?

If you hear anything, please post. I tried to add to my order and got an automated reply. Then I got a cancellation of a Paypal request (never got the request). I am assuming she is swamped with getting orders out and I believe mine is due to ship fairly soon. I'm hoping to hear something. The original one went in Feb. but then VG bailed on me. I'm sure happy I ordered some things from Travis back then instead of counting on VG. You know though, it seems wrong to have to order Blue Dragon 3 different places to actually get 1. I can't keep doing that sort of thing. Diana

Well, I know it's a little bit of a tour, but if you're in the Sarnia area, both DeGroots and Sipkens have a very good selection.

Try Cavendish perennials in Burlington. They have a large selection of different sempervivums, orostachys and rosularias as well as various sedums. I have ordered from them in the past and always was very satisfied with what I received.

Whistling Gardens probably has the best selections and it has a 50% off sale on all stocks now. They also supply to various Nurseries in southern Ontario. Vineland also has interesting selections. Lost Horizon in Acton has some. I understand Plant World in Toronto have good selections but have not tried there myself yet. Very few places in the US are still willing to mail order to Canada. Canada (east of the Rocky) is probably the worst place in the Western world for buying conifers and ornamental maples. (Sigh)

I checked out Plant World online and they are in the west end in Etobicoke, so I think I will opt for a day trip to Whistling, it is just over 2 hours away. The problem now is: how to hook up the trailer without arousing suspicion (-_-)

Also a couple of hours from you in Hanover is Yesterday's Garden. If in area, check out brochure for Rural Gardens of Grey Bruce for gardens to visit for unique ideas of garden design with lots of different plant material. If you go to WG, prepare to be blown away. Fantastic place and Darren is a great guy and very willing to help.
