What We Plant

We work with species native to Eastern Ontario and surrounding zones, focusing on:

​

  • Native wildflowers and grasses

  • Medicinal herbs like echinacea, yarrow, lemon balm, and calendula

  • Edible perennials and companion plants

  • Trees and shrubs with cultural or healing significance (e.g., elder, sumac, willow)
     

Have a specific healing tradition or herbal goal in mind? We’ll tailor your garden accordingly.

We typically design with ornamental, native and edible plants.  If you prefer to have only 1 type, just let us know!
