This is an utterly amazing place. Over 2000 different types of perrenials that are tested over 5 years for hardiness before going up for sale. There is no greenhouse, just netting... I have never seen so many bees and butterflies in one place. While I was there a commercial buyer from Australia was selecting an order! Keith Squires is quite an elderly guy, but its clear he loves plants, and will talk to you for hours and answer your questions. Anyone who can, don't miss this opportunity. You will never go back to Lowes or Home Depot again!!

WONDERFUL and knowledgeable, both Keith and Carolyn literally know each plant they sell. Most they have grown and cultivated themselves and are never too busy to answer questions or help you place them perfectly in your own garden. For the rare, the wonderful, or just plain beautiful every REAL garden lover in a 100 mile radius knows this place. (Just don't tell anyone else about it!!) Thank you Keith and Carolyn for all your hard work - it is paying off in our back yards!

Keith & Carolyn Squires grow a wide selection of truly hardy perennials, from tiny alpines to huge, back-of-the-border plants, plus vines, native plants, and dwarf trees and shrubs. The plants are grown and propagated on-site, and tested for hardiness. Whenever I visit, I always find some plant I have never seen before. To reach the nursery from the 401, go south through Campbellville and follow the winding road through escarpment woods and fields to Derry Road (the intersection has traffic lights); turn right (west) onto Derry Road, and the garden centre is on the right (north) side only a short distance. There are restaurants/cafes in Campbellville, if you need a rest break on your trip.
