Great Lakes Gardening

Just moved to Burlington, where should I look?

11 years ago

I know it's still not even spring yet (almost!) but I want to get started with my garden plans.

Had a question though, what were people's thoughts on gardening centres? I've seen quite a few flyers for these guys http://www.hollandpark.com/home.html and it seems pretty reputable online, however were there any other places I should look at?

Holland Park is good. One of my favourites is Connon Nurseries in Waterdown, not quite in Burlington, but close. It's on Hwy. 5 (Dundas St.), a few kilometres west of Brant St.. Also, check-out the plant sale at the Royal Botanical Gardens in early May.

Yes, Connon Nurseries is a good bet if you are looking for some rare trees. I got a gingko tree from there last year and it is planted and doing well in my backyard.

Terra is a bit less pricier and they have lots of sales you can take advantage of. There is one on Dunas, west of Brant. Nice help staff.

Are you willing to drive at all? Also where did you move from?
