Lost Horizons started out as a garden design and installation company; when we ran into trouble finding the perennials we wanted to use in our designs, we began to grow our own. Over the years the nursery has become a destination for discriminating gardeners, and renowned throughout Canada for rare and unusual plants. We are continually searching for and trialing new varieties. The plants offered
by Lost Horizons range from old cottage garden favourites to delicate alpines. A few horticultural thugs are listed — unmasked — but even they serve as useful ground covers in restricted situations. The range of difficulty runs from easy to difficult (but not impossible). Gardeners tend to evolve from easier plants to ever-increasing challenges. Varieties come and go here at Lost Horizon; some overstep their boundaries, some completely surprise us. Of all features of a garden, foliage is one of the most significant; the interplay of sizes, forms, textures, and colours creates much of the magic while flowers bloom and fade, providing fleeting highlights to this background. Perhaps the best thing about gardening is that it is an ever-changing, never-ending process.
