Over the winter, the nursery has moved from Bristol, Quebec, to Eganville, Ontario. We plan to be open for business selling plants at the new location sometime in May, 2024. What with all the kerfuffle of moving, I have been very late in packaging seeds and there are somewhat fewer species for sale than in… Continue reading Seeds 2024

Sale Specials, some big plants, and a couple of shrubs
There will be some plants on sale at our exciting new event, Natives and Clay this coming week-end. Dwarf Arctic Iris has been lovely this relatively cool spring, but I have too much of it. Regularly $15 each, they will be offered at the sale event, 3 for the price of 2. I am discontinuing… Continue reading Sale Specials, some big plants, and a couple of shrubs
Natives & Clay
On June 24th and 25th, I will be teaming up with renowned potter Lis Allison for an innovative event we are calling Natives and Clay, a two-day sale of Lis’s beautiful hand-painted pottery and Beaux Arbres’ nursery-propagated native plants. Join us at Lis’s Pine Ridge Studio, just outside Carp, Ontario, for a terrific combination of… Continue reading Natives & Clay
New Plant Availability List
Several species are depleted from the Mothers’ Day Sale but some warm weather species are now up and on the list, notably Wild Senna (featured image), Wild Bergamot, and Culver’s Root. The Milkweeds are still very small but up enough to know which ones are alive, so they too are on the list. The Friends… Continue reading New Plant Availability List
Updated Seed List
A new updated seed list is now available to download. A couple of species have been taken off and a handful new ones have been added (highlighted in red).
End of Season
Thanks to all the great customers who have supported us through some challenging time. I am always especially grateful to repeat customers – folks who took a chance on a prepaid order and then ordered again. This summer I worked myself to a state of heat exhaustion three times and I am going to have… Continue reading End of Season
Some Ottawa Valley Wildflowers
We had something to pick up in Wilno and a delivery to make to Killaloe, so we made a little holiday of it, a break from the nursery, having a nice picnic at Golden Lake, and lovely walk in a bit of publicly accessible alvar at the Fourth Chute. Here are some photos of some… Continue reading Some Ottawa Valley Wildflowers

Beaux Arbres will be bringing plants into Ottawa on Saturday, September 11th. We will be distributing prepaid orders of native plants from a Britannia area parking lot on that Saturday, from 9:30 am until noon. This will probably be our last delivery of plants for the season. The nursery will still be open until the… Continue reading Plants into Ottawa, Saturday, September 11th
Psst, wanna buy a clematis?
We could meet in a parking lot, wearing masks. Not necessarily at dusk, and I don’t know if I could hide the clematis under my overcoat, but the new retail normal is … odd. I have one pot of the native Purple Clematis (Clematis occidentalis) still available of the plants from my original seed collecting.… Continue reading Psst, wanna buy a clematis?
Rescued Marsh Marigolds
I noticed some Marsh Marigolds growing in the ditch of the dirt road that runs down the side of the farm. I also knew that the road, which was in rough shape where it slopes down to the creek, was due for some grading from the municipality. So I dug up the clump that was… Continue reading Rescued Marsh Marigolds
