Whether you’re treating yourself or looking for a thoughtful seasonal gift, the Snowflake Soap Bar is the perfect way to share the magic of winter. Ideal for an office gift exchange, a hostess gift, or a charming stocking stuffer.

Snowflake: This scent will have you reminiscing about a walk through a snowy forest, with notes of sparkling bergamot and Anjou pear blended with juniper berries, balsam, and amber woods. A sweet, crisp, and woodsy fragrance that perfectly captures the feel of a fresh winter day.

Evergreen: Infused with a beautiful blend of ripe raspberry, zesty orange, and warm musk, this soap offers a deliciously fruity, berry-inspired scent that captures the cozy spirit of the holidays.

Gorgeous peach blossoms top the vigorous 2m (6.5') vines of Sunset runner bean. Worth growing for the eye-catching blooms alone, it is equally rewarding to grow for its prolific harvest of beans that can be used as fresh green snap or dried shell beans that are lavender with black speckles. Enjoy the dried beans all winter in savory soups and stews.

Brilliant flowers complement neat, attractive foliage. Wonderful as ground cover, in the rock garden, along walkways or cascading over stone walls. Easy to maintain. Thrives in hot, dry locations. Also called golden carpet or gold moss stonecrop.

CERTIFIED ORGANIC. Glacier Organic are among the earliest maturing of early season tomatoes. The productive little plants are compact and well suited to containers and balcony growing. Glacier's 'saladette' fruits are small at just 5cm (2") in diameter, but they are very sweet, with a superior flavour to some other early maturing varieties. The stout plants grow to only 60-75cm (24-30") tall, and bear most of their fruit in a concentrated set. The plants are relatively cold tolerant and perform well in short season northern gardens.

Determinate (bush) Matures in 55 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)

Oriental Poppies provide a cheerful display of huge, satiny flowers in late spring and early summer. Plants form a low clump of coarse, hairy leaves, and usually go dormant, disappearing completely by late summer. Because they disappear in summer, plant something beside Oriental Poppies that will get bushy later in the season, such as Rudbeckia, Russian Sage, or fall-flowering grasses. Flowers are good for cutting, picked just as the buds begin to open.

Bring the fresh scent of the holidays into your home with our Canadian-grown premium Balsam Fir trees.

Each tree is hand sheared and graded to USDA Premium Standard. 

Since we began selling christmas trees our mission has been to secure a high quality and reliable source of trees for our customers. 

In August of 2024 we made a trip to Nova Scotia to visit a tree farm. After a tour of the acreage we were impressed by the care taken to maintain the beautiful environment (pictured) and commitment to sustainability.

Here are just a few of the benefits:

• In tree farming sustainability means naturally seeded varieties from old growth forests, and properly maintained biodiversity in the rolling fields. Natural ecosystems to keep the trees protected from pests and viruses.
• The tree you purchase today will have seeded 3-4 new saplings in its place. Each one has already started your future tree, your neighbours, and many more to come.
• Direct purchasing from the farm means our trees will be cut, shipped and delivered within a shorter time frame. Keeping them fresh in your home for much longer than those though tree lots and buying groups.
• The term Premium has been used alot in recent years without restriction or accountability. Our supply is graded to USDA standards of Premium, or #1. You can purchase with confidence the tree you receive will be true to its grading.

Disclaimer:
Due to the nature of live trees and online sales, all trees remain bundled until delivery. If you have specific preferences, we recommend visiting us in-store to choose your tree in person.

All sales are final.

The Myrtle Ball Topiary is an elegant and classic ornamental plant crafted into a spherical shape, featuring glossy green leaves, creating a refined and structured appearance.

Light Requirement: Thriving in bright, indirect light, place the Myrtle Ball Topiary in a location with filtered sunlight or partial shade. It can tolerate lower light conditions but benefits from exposure to moderate to bright light for optimal growth.

Watering Requirement: Allow the soil to partially dry between waterings, and water thoroughly. The Myrtle Ball Topiary prefers slightly moist but well-draining soil. Avoid overwatering to maintain the health of the plant.

Mature Height: Maintaining its spherical form, the Myrtle Ball Topiary typically reaches a height and diameter of around 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm). Regular pruning can help preserve the topiary shape and promote a neat appearance.

Grown in Canada.

Keep poinsettias away for forced air heating to avoid drying out.

Kosmo's Q is trying to change the way you see homemade buffalo wings. It's as simple as this: why not get all the classic flavor of your favorite buffalo wing sauce, but nearly none of the mess? Kosmo's special spice blend tastes just like mama used to make, only now you won't have to give everyone at your table their own roll of paper towels! Just cook the wings like always, and when they're done sprinkle a little Kosmo's Buffalo Wing Dust on 'em while they're still piping hot, take a bite, then slap yourself as you wonder how you didn't think of this idea before!(MSG & Gluten Free)

Sometimes in order to win, you've got to play a little dirty. We came up with this rub designed for poultry perfection, and it was our first one to really take off. It's got a red peppery kick that'll make you keep your cold drink close, but a brown-sugary sweetness to keep you coming back for more. After all the replies from grill masters thanking us for giving their chicken that extra edge, we knew Dirty Bird was something special indeed. (MSG & Gluten Free)

These big beans have big flavour. The 15cm (6”) pods are broad, flat, stringless, and medium green. The intense flavour of these Italian beans remains even after canning and processing. Or enjoy them straight out of the garden when they are sweet and crisp. Romano beans typically grow on tall vines that need to be supported by canes or trellises. Campo di Fiori Romano bean seeds produce tidy (determinate) bush bean plants that have a shorter harvest window. That is, the beans will all come at once during a two to three week period. The trade off is the convenience of smaller bush plants that will produce well in large containers.

Matures in 58 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)
