Sites of Interest to Diggers & Weeders

Au Jardin de Jean-Pierre 1070 rang 1 ouest, Sainte-Christine, Qc J0H1H0 www.jardinjp.com a very good nursery for unusual shrubs, perennials and trees - off the beaten track but worth the visit if in the townships.

The website includes a map. Wildflower Farm , located in Orillia, Ontario but worth a visit on the computer.... excellent pictures and good material for those planning to plant a wildflower garden.... www.wildflowerfarm.com

Jasmin Garden Centre 6247 Henri Bourassa West an excellent nursery, probably Montreal's largest and best selection of perennials,annuals and shrubs. Also very good selection of roses and trees. For annuals a good idea to go in early May for new and unusual plants . website is www.jardinjasmin.com

La Maison des Fleurs Vivaces Enr. 807 boulevard Sauve, Sainte-Eustache, Qc. - most likely best stocked perennial nursery in Montreal area now open to the public. More important is their knowledge of their stock and the care they give to the customer. website is: www.lamaisondesfleursvivacesenr.ca

Oka Fleurs Nursery, 1945 chemin Oka - best selection of ornamental grasses. Best time to visit is September to see them in full bloom. website is: www.okafleurs.ca

Montreal Botanical Gardens: www.villemontreal.que.ca/jardin

www.maplelawn.com - very interesting site to visit and shows a project not unlike our St. George's Church one. May be worth a field trip.
