Garden Path Homemade Soap - Made in Canada

It’s raining again today, and although it is damp and cool, life outdoors is growing and changing constantly at an alarming rate. It’s amazing to think how only a few weeks ago there was still snow on the ground. Our monarch flag proudly welcomes visitors to this year’s garden display and we anxiously await the return of our winged wonders. The milkweed has not yet emerged from its sleep, but it will only be a matter of days before it pokes through the soil ready to feed the monarch caterpillars. Spring is a new beginning and with it comes new adventures and opportunities. We will be expanding our gardens again this year by planting 70 more lavender plants and incorporating more calendula and chamomile – two widely used medicinal herbs that are used in many of our products.

We also have plans to create a new herb drying space – one which will be accessible to our visitors! There are other surprises in the works, but for now we will embrace this season as our gardens come to life with vigour. Won’t you join us!

The Garden Path Labyrinth

January 07, 2021 1 Comment

When 95% of our lavender was lost to poor weather conditions in 2018, we decided to "make lemonade out of lemons" so to speak. We moved the new plants to a new location and created a brand new attraction on the property - a Lavender Labyrinth for all to enjoy!

Growing in Grandpa's Garden

December 22, 2017 10 Comments

As a child, I also remember watching my grandfather in his large vegetable garden. He was a gentle and kind man who nurtured the plants that grew, and once I tasted his fresh produce, I knew that one day I would have a garden of my own. After purchasing a heritage 5-acre lot, I remembered sitting outdoors one day sipping on a cup of coffee and I remarked to my husband, “I wish there was a way we could share this beauty." Fast forward a few years and here we are. I’m sure my grandpa would be proud.
