ST. MARY'S NURSERY & GARDEN CENTRE


I've been visiting a lot of garden centres around the city lately.  The beautiful flowers, the lush green plants, the succulents…What's not to love about summer at the garden centre?!  Today I visited St. Mary's Nursery & Garden Centre and snapped some photos.  Here are some of my favourite shots from my visit at St. Mary's Nursery…

    When I went to Shelmerdines for the first time this year I almost died. St. Mary's looks like it has a better select of succulents. I picked up a baby aloe plant and have been pretty good at not buying more plants than I can handle. The peonies in my yard are almost ready to bloom so I will have flower overload shortly! Amazing photos.

      Aw, thanks, Daphne - I'm glad you enjoyed the photos! I still can't get enough of succulents…I still love them and if I could some how find a way to get paid to photograph succulents all day, I'd be a very happy gal. :)

      And, I LOVE Shelmerdines, too! I actually *might* have an upcoming Shelmerdines post in the works, as well. :) I try not to buy plants (mostly because I have a black thumb) but I always love the gift shops at garden centres and always end up spending too much money on clothes or other fun things I find there.

    I have such fond memories of visits to St. Mary's nursery with my Mom. It was an annual past-time of ours when I was in my late teens / early twenties. We haven't done it since my parents moved further southwest, but it would sure be fun to pick up the tradition again.

      I used to always go to the garden centres with my Mom, too! My mom loves her gardens…Somehow I didn't inherit that gene though…I've tried keeping succulents and air plants at home but they didn't last long. I think I don't have enough light in my place…That and I guess you also have to water plants to keep them alive. Who knew?!?!?! :P
