Ottawa Valley Native Plants will be distributing pre-paid orders from a location in Manor Park on Thursday, June 20th. Friends who live in the Manor Park neighbourhood (north end of St Laurent) offered their driveway from which to distribute plant orders. We will be there from 4 to 6:30 pm on Thursday, June 20th. If… Continue reading Ottawa east-central pick-up location for June 20th

Seeds 2024
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
Wood Poppy (at last) and a new Plant Availability List
I finally have an ample supply of Wood Poppy. They are looking very nice and many are in flower or are in bud. Wood Poppy is unusual among native plants – its main bloom period is in late spring but it often blooms sporadically after that and, very often, has a second flush of blooms… Continue reading Wood Poppy (at last) and a new Plant Availability List
A Successful Sale
Thanks to all the wonderful customers who braved the heat (on Saturday) and the smoke (on Sunday) to make our two day sale event, Natives and Clay, a resounding success. Lis and I were so pleased by the response that we plan to do it again next year. Set amid Lis’s beautiful gardens, it was… Continue reading A Successful Sale
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

Bringing Plants to Ottawa, Wednesday, July 13th
Beaux Arbres will be bringing plant orders to Ottawa on the evening of Wednesday, July 13th to distribute them from our Britannia area condo’s Visitor Parking Lot. I know some folks were not able to make the Saturday morning Farmers’ Market and others did not want to pick up a large order with Westboro’s potentially… Continue reading Bringing Plants to Ottawa, Wednesday, July 13th
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
May I Introduce: Fringed Sage
Soft, silvery, foliage is a desirable decorative feature in gardens. To augment the bright silver of native Pearly Everlasting and subtle silvery-grey of Parlin’s (Plantain-leaved) Pussytoes, I now offer the silky silver of Fringed Sage. It is much more hardy than the popular but notoriously finicky and short-lived Silver Mound, the standard garden centre offering.… Continue reading May I Introduce: Fringed Sage
Back for 2021: Ozark Sundrops
Although Ozark Sundrops has absolutely no claim to be native to the Ottawa Valley, this startlingly large flowered species from central US is such a garden-worthy beauty, from time to time we include it in our offerings at Beaux Arbres. The flowers can be 8 cm across on a plant only about 20 cm tall… Continue reading Back for 2021: Ozark Sundrops
