Who we are
We are a family owned and operated backyard garden shoppe located in Gainford, Alberta Canada. ButterCups is the first flower I remember, every spring my Mom would twirl a buttercup under my chin to check to see if I still liked butter, a tradition I share with my own daughters, & many others hold dear as well.
We are pleased to offer a unique selection of annuals, perennials, vegetables, herbs, fruit, & houseplants. Many hand grown from seed or cuttings from my own gardens. 95% of our seeds, plants, products, supplies are sourced from Canadian producers. All edibles are started organically from seed, soil, fertilizers & paper cups or peat pots.
We strive to grow with as much care to the environment as possible; by re-using building supplies, washing pots to re-use, use of organic or natural fertilizers & natural pest controls, reducing energy use, buying locally, etc.
What we do
We also have a seasonal flower garden which provides much joy and is available for you to come and pick from or to book for events. When I first started selling plants, I was inspired by how many seniors are still gardening. Many seniors saying how they have downsized or have less space for various reasons. So, I imagined offering our garden with access to those who have need to use walkers or wheelchairs. In order to do this we did need to use landscaping fabric to enable a smooth access, we chose to have less flowers, but wider rows, & there is parking right at the garden gate. We also offer seasonal arrangements for weddings, gifts, birthdays, special occasions, family reunions…
