This ‘ meet and greet ‘ option is an expansion of our ‘ to the cottage ‘ program. Since most of our shrubs, trees and wildflowers are not grown as plugs but as potted plants, it can be quite pricey to ship orders. We decided that since we travel frequently up to the Barry’s Bay area we would offer assistance to our northerly customers. And so the ‘ meet and greet ‘ option was born. We have had the pleasure of meeting customers, in an agreed upon meeting place and time, while delivering their plant orders. The customers save the cost of shipping and we have the chance to put the face to the name.

If this option sounds applicable to you, simply email us and we will explore the possibilities, together.

For the past 3 years, we have offered our ‘ To The Cottage ‘ program to our customers. You may ask what this is all about. It has everything to do with climate change and our assisted tree migration program. Climate change will not skip over this precious cottage country area. Not only is vegetation moving northward but laterally range expanding – expanding the east to west boundaries. Now we have stock from more northerly seed sources to offer to the ‘ lakes area ‘ clients. These northerly seed sources will help drive the assisted tree migration program for the cottage country.

To make things easier, we have CAPITALIZED the more northerly seed sources that can be found in our Ontario native plant inventory. Simply look at the origins section of the inventory for the Capitalized city near you. If you need any help, we are an email away.
