Gardening is the art
that uses flowers
and plants as paint,
and soil and sky as canvas.

-Elizabeth Murray

We are told that walking into From The Potting Shed is like walking into a photograph reminiscent of an 18th Century European Potting Shed – but with a contemporary twist! It captures the love of the garden, personal creativity and friendship. It’s magical – like food for the soul!

Under the full moon in 1921, just after his return from war, my grandfather proposed to my grandmother in her garden. I have romanticized about this my entire life. It has inspired and influenced my work as a designer to create beautiful wedding flowers that have that “well tossed together” garden flower look about them.
We do not have a catalogue – never will – each wedding is customized to suit each couple. We encourage you to bring in your bits of fabric, pinterest photos, & colour chips so that we can dream together to make your own photo worthy flowers.
We’ll even make it right at your final consult – which we have come to call your “Floral Party”

At our Sheds (stores) we follow the garden seasons. In the Spring you can expect to find bulbs, tulips, pussy willows, garden gear etc. Fresh herbs, peonies, roses, hostess gifts, garden décoratives in the Summer. Sunflowers, grapevine, everlasting wreaths, dried lavender from Provence in Autumn. Amaryllis, evergreens, pomegranates and fabulous gifts in the mid Winter! Always changing, always current!

We’re not afraid to share our secrets! Throughout the year we offer workshops, festivals and luncheons on floral arts and gardening. Just like Grandma taught us. We’re passing on the spade!
Our workshops make for a great corporate team building activity and are a terrific option to an office party! Bring your mother, client or friend! An escape from fast-lane living!

Visit our herb market! Open every year from the May long weekend to Thanksgiving. We feature over 50 varieties including topiaries and hard to find herbs! O’natural – great for balcony gardeners and chefs!
Choose from one of ours or bring in your own container and let us help you create your own custom culinary garden – a moveable feast!

Our garlands are often featured in magazines! This one was in Style At Home with Samantha Pynn. Flowers, herbs & greenery are lovingly entwined and hand-tied. Made fresh to dry, there is one for every season! Our garlands have become a favourite for weddings and for the festive time of year. Call us to create a private workshop and make one of your own or let us design a custom one that suits you.

Tis’ the season! An Ode to Joy Christmas arrangement in a handcrafted stone container by one of our favourite local artists makes a wonderful statement for your party, corporate gift or a treat for a special friend.

Our signature Everlasting Wreath speaks for itself. Attend one of our workshops to make one of your own or visit our Shed to pick out one that speaks to you.
This is a popular corporate gift for the holidays, closing sale or incentive program. Call us to find out more!
