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.

Thomas D Church

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!
