There is Always a Reason to Visit the Gang at Griffin’s Greenhouses!

Never a dull moment, we strive to be current and active in all seasons. We overhear visitors often say, “There’s always something going on at Griffin’s”!

 

Whether to attend our Opening Weekend, Fall Festival or an event highlighting the Winter season, tour our Display Garden, pick up your season Urn Club insert, redeem your reward points or chat with the Design Team about a Custom Planting – our friendly staff members are here for you.

Urn Club

Do you decorative with urns? Do you struggle to find successful plant combinations ? Does your busy life make it difficult to keep these pots filled for four seasons of color? If so, then the Griffin’s Greenhouses Urn Club may be for you!

 

For one price (paid when you begin the program), receive four seasonal inserts!


Spring 2024 Urn Club Pick-Up: approximately April 10-30, 2024 * may be ready early (for Easter), weather permitting.


Urn inserts will only be available during the specified times. Urn Club arrangements must be picked up during the specified dates. For example, in 2024 the first Urn Club pick up will be for the Spring insert beginning approximately April 10 (weather dependent).


An email will be sent or telephone call will be made at your request as a friendly reminder of the pick up dates at the beginning of each season.


The Urn Club begins on the day you receive your first urn insert and must be completed within the year (four seasons); no doubling of seasons please. You can join in any season!


One urn insert per season, per program purchased ($175.00). Our urn insert is 12″ wide x 10″ tall and fits most standard sized urns. Please measure to be sure our insert will fit your pot.


Urn arrangements are designer’s choice and will be created with the professional care and flair that you expect from Griffin’s Greenhouses; no pre-orders or specific requests can be accepted for this program.

Custom Planting

Pre-Ordered Containers

(Hanging Baskets, Patio Pots, Window Boxes)


This unique service is offered to clients who contact us with their wishes prior to March 30th each year. Using either our own new containers or their personal containers, we plant a custom combination that meets their needs in both colour and location requirements. We consult with each client when the order is placed; often a photo is brought and this helps us to determine the plant choices for the current year’s planting. Clients are asked to pick up their planters when the weather warms for the season (after the May long-weekend but before the first of June or additional charges for maintenance will apply). Please contact us via email or telephone to arrange a pick-up date and time to ensure your order is ready and prepared for you.


Note: please bring containers that are empty, clean and labelled with name.

In-Season Planting


Clients are welcome to bring their personal containers (see specifications regarding cleanliness above) to us to plant in our second round of Custom Planting which takes place after May 01 each year. New containers from our stock can also be planted at this time. After a brief consultation, we use large sized annuals and/or perennials to create beautiful custom container arrangements.


Clients are asked to pick up these containers shortly after they are planted by our staff. Please contact us via email or telephone to arrange a pick up date and time to ensure your order is ready and prepared for you.


Delivery can be arranged for large sized plant or accent items.



Custom Planting continues throughout the Fall and Winter.

Display Garden

In the year 2000 we completed a Millenium project that focussed on landscaping our irrigation pond. It became a labour of love – and a much larger project than anticipated! Now, the garden is mature, but in a revolving state of renovation as we change up plantings and work on improvements each year. It’s a true garden project, probably just like yours at home!

 

We invite you to tour our award-winning Display Garden; it is open for you to freely enjoy during our business hours. We ask that when we are closed, you do not visit the garden, as a respect to our privacy.

 

What will you see? We have planted hundreds of varieties of zone appropriate perennials, often in drifts or multiples echoed throughout the spaces, for cohesiveness. Annuals are dotted throughout, for constant colour. Our cedar clad gazebo (a cool place to sit and take it all in) is surrounded by unique container plantings. It’s a INSPIRATION for your senses! 

 

The light waterfall feature rambles down the centre, circulating back into the pond while a stone bridge takes you to the far side where benches are tucked in corners for your comfort. It is a natural habitat for plentiful goldfish in the pond, turtles sunning on “turtle log” and varieties of song birds and fishers that hug the shoreline.

 

Your visit will provide you with ideas, seeing how many of the plants we sell perform in the garden or in containers. We hope our labour of love inspires you to create in your own space.
