We are always surprised when someone says "I pass by your place nearly everyday. The gardens are really beautiful, but what do you do?"
Without a huge advertising budget, small "niche" businesses like ourselves, do have a struggle in getting the word out, and although we think it is fairly straight forward what we do, it's obviously not so clear.
So for the benefit of those who don't know what we do, here goes:
Gordon is a plantsman who designs gardens using perennial plants. His particular focus is on planting combinations of long blooming plants for late season interest. That is, he designs gardens that bloom from June until well into October. Although he tends toward mass plantings for larger gardens in commercial applications, he is well able to design gardens to suit the tastes of his clients in their home gardens. Garden bed preparation and interesting and unusal plant selections and combinations that thrive in the growing conditions of a site are his particular strengths.
In support of his garden design business, Gordon grows plants that we also offer for sale at the nursery. The nursery is open limited hours that are always posted on our website http://www.gardenhouseperennials.com/ and in our weekly e-newsletter. (Click here to sign up)
In addition to the garden design business and the nursery plant sales, we also sell top quality bareroot Peonies and Daylilies from our websites http://www.peoniesfromthefield.com/ and http://www.dayliliesfromthefield.com/. We ship across Canada and to the United States.
We hope this sheds some light on "what we do" and welcome everyone's comments, questions and suggestions. TTFN
