Brackenrig Nursery has been growing plants on the premises
since 1988, for Muskoka
and surrounding areas. The greenhouses cover about 14,000 sq.ft.
and are mainly used to grow annuals and perennials, in this not
always so forgiving climate. Another few acres of growing space
is devoted to many varieties of larger sized perennials, shrubs
and trees grown in containers. The plants are overwintered outside
and are proven to be hardy for this area. We welcome the individual
gardener as well as the landscapers. Over the years the nursery
has propagated thousands of plants native to Muskoka, as well as
naturalized species and we now have a large amount of native plant
material available.
Growing
plants is our passion, and watching them grow, we feel rejuvenated.
Our spirits are lifted high and we continue our quest to grow
strong healthy plants with renewed energy. We are excited to inspire
other gardeners. Many of us are looking for relieve from everyday
stresses. The garden is the ideal place to just ‘be’
and relax. It is a place where we can connect with the natural
world, feel part of it. It is a place where we can express ourselves,
and let our imagination go wild. It is a place for healing. The
more time we spend close to nature, the closer we get to recognizing
our true potential. Making use of natural materials, selecting
plants suitable for our growing conditions, we aim to work with
nature rather than against it.

There are no mysterious ‘musts’,
no set rules, no finger of shame pointed at the gardener
who doesn’t follow an accepted pattern.
Landscaping is not a complex and difficult art to be practiced
only by high priests.

Plants play a major role in the healing of
our planet. All organisms are interdependent, and in order to
have healthy plants, we must nourish the health of the entire
ecosystem. Muskoka landscapes are extremely sensitive because
of their proximity to the lakes. We believe that it is our duty
to cater to the well being of all its inhabitants. We must acquire
a deep respect for Mother Earth and also teach our children. Over
the years we have researched new products, and as a result, you
will see an ever increasing selection of organic and environmentally
friendly products at Brackenrig Nursery. It is our goal to stay
on top of new research and to pass it on to you, making new products
available.

We are always looking forward to helping
you with your gardening needs and to making your gardening
experience a happy one!
Have a wonderful gardening season!
