Garden Centre

We stock an impressive assortment of plant materials. The Garden Centre offers a very extensive line of Heritage Perennials, the Premier Perennial Growers in Ontario. We also field grow and container grow some of our stock, taken from our vast Botanical Gardens. We provide a full compliment of Trees, Shrubs, Vines, Evergreens, Annuals and Groundcovers. The Garden Centre specializes in rare and unusual, hard to find novelties and unique specimens.

We are a full season Garden Centre that continually restocks throughout the season. This means that we offer a wide compliment of spring, summer and fall blooming and foliage plants as well as winter interest plants. With our high volumes and stock turnover rates, fresh new plants are always arriving, keeping the Garden Centre lush and interesting throughout the seasons. There is always something new to see !

Spring at the Garden Centre begins with the arrival of our first shipments including spring pansies and a wide selection of very early blooming perennials. Next to arrive are weekly truckloads of perennials, trees and shrubs. Then an extensive selection of annuals, hanging baskets and planters both common and exotic arrive.
Summer unfolds with new shipments of long-blooming summer perennials and foliage plants for our hot dry summers. Exotic accent shrubs, trees and evergreens are also freshly stocked in profusion.
Fall sees the arrival of Icicle pansies, mums and a huge array of fall blooming perennials and shrubs. Fall color plants and ornamental grasses are freshly stocked, and the largest selection of spring flowering bulbs in our area arrive, ready for fall planting.
Winter is the time for our live potted Christmas trees, festive seasonal foliage and Christmas gift certificates.

There are new and exciting plants throughout the seasons at Folmer’s Garden Centre, so you have a new experience each time you visit!
