I grow plants that are tried and true, and that I've come to love for their beauty, reliability and vigorous growth. My native plant selection increases every year. Plants are grown from seeds collected here at Bloom & Quill in south-central Ontario, zone 5b. I use no chemicals or pesticides and the plants are rainwater fed. Every plant I sell can be viewed in my gardens where I use all-natural gardening techniques.

These seeds are hand-collected from native perennial plants grown right here at Bloom & Quill in southwestern Ontario.
They're hand-sorted to remove most chaff and silk and can last indefinitely if properly stored. Seeds are available to order for pick up year round.
Many native perennials require cold stratification and/or scarification. This makes them great candidates for the popular winter sowing method, or you can refrigerate them for 2-3 months then soak or scratch if needed before sowing indoors. You may also simply scatter and lightly cover them in your garden in the fall.

These bouquets are far from typical - they're made with an assortment of wildflowers, perennials and annuals (including herbs!) grown right here at Bloom & Quill.

Your arrangement will be created with what's beautifully in bloom that week. Specific flowers cannot be requested.
When you order, provide your preferred pick up date and time (please allow at least 24 hours). I will be in touch shortly after you order to confirm.
