A small nursery located on beautiful Big Tancook Island!

06/04/2026

A beautiful day to open for the season! I’ll be open 11-4, stop by to see what’s in stock! 🌱

A sneak peak of what is available for sale on Thursday! 👀

Also for sale will be 3 totally funky and awesome birdhouses made by Hillary Dionne ($50 each), and some beautiful 7 litre terracotta pots which are perfect for a potted herb garden, a small annual planter, or your houseplants! ($12 each)

My schedule is remaining the same as last year, and I will be open on Thursday at 11am. See you then! 😁

⭐️🌱 SPREAD THE WORD! STRANDED NURSERY IS OPENING FOR THE SEASON ON THURSDAY, JUNE 4th! 🌱⭐️

This year I am offering the majority of my vegetables in 6 packs, which are $5 each. Some single plants are available as well, for $3 each.

Available on opening day: Tomatoes (lots of Scotia’s & Roma’s this year!), Cucumbers, Bush Beans, Runner Beans, Corn, Squash, and Zucchinis. Drop in to see which varieties!

Also… a very special crop will be available which is directly related to this island’s history… Tancook Cabbages! I have very limited amounts of these available in 6 packs, so they will be sold on a first come first serve basis.

A small selection of beautiful annuals will come in the next few weeks, and some new vegetables. Don’t worry! Everything does not have to go in the ground at the same time or right away. Planting multiple rounds of crops allows for a longer harvest window, and a larger yield. For annuals, it delays flowering so that you have pops of colour in your garden when you normally wouldn’t.

Later in the summer I will also have some perennials available as well, very excited about that!

Can’t wait to see you all! 🌱

Today’s project: an area that’s properly protected from the deer. This will keep my veggie garden safe, and eventually, my perennial plant stock!

The earth is as shallow as 6” in some spots at the nursery, so I had to come up with a creative fencing solution since properly anchoring a fence into the ground is not a possibility.

Concrete reinforcement mesh panels were used as the actual fence panels, and to make gabion cages to hold the stacked rocks in place against the posts. Each panel is 4’ x 8’ in size, so I was able to cut one panel in half to get 2 cages. Driving the posts into the thin ground would not have been durable enough to hold a fence up, so above ground support was required, and these simple cages sure did the trick! The posts are super solid and aren’t going to budge.

I am very excited and pleased with how it looks and how it turned out. All that’s left to do is to create two gates on either end to get in and out, and run steel cable under the panels between each cage to have a barrier underneath as well. It is quite tall, but if needed the posts can be easily extended and cable ran above the panels as well for extra height. I cannot wait to fill it with plants! 😁

I wouldn’t have been able to make so much progress without the world’s best helper, Jonathan! We did a LOT of work today, thank you for everything you did with me today! ❤️

Hello everyone!

As the weather slowly but surely gets warmer (emphasis on slowly…), I’ll start doing more and more at the nursery. I will be offering vegetables and herbs in my greenhouse again, as well as some annuals eventually, and I am hoping to have a LOT more perennial stock to offer later in the year as well. There might even be a few other special things this year, like planters and some very cool birdhouses!

This year I will also be offering greenhouse crops in 6-packs! Single plants will still be available for things that you might not necessarily need multiple of, or for specialty plants.

I was hoping I’d be able to move into the greenhouse earlier this year, but as I have no way of heating it through the nights, the weather ultimately dictates when I can do that. I apologize, as I understand the desire to start gardening as soon as you possibly can.

I do not have an official opening date yet, but you can likely expect it to be around June like last year. I will keep you all posted if things change!

Thanks all, I’m very excited for another season at the nursery, I’ve got some big plans for this year! 😬

As this year is coming to a close, my heart is so full.

This was my nursery’s very first year, and I truly could not have done everything I did without the incredible support of this community, and those beyond.

From every visit, purchase, post share, and your words of encouragement — thank you.

Supporting me and my business means more than I am capable of putting into words, and I am deeply grateful to each and every one of you who believed in this little dream of mine and have helped it to grow. No pun intended… 😉

I feel so lucky to be part of such a caring, supportive community, and I’m excited to keep growing and serving you in the year ahead.

Wishing you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year. May 2026 be the year that is filled with growth, joy, and good things ahead for us all. 🌱✨

Thank you for an amazing first year. I can’t wait to do it again next year.

❤️❤️❤️

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday/winter season so far! ❄️

Just wanted to make another post/update about my ornaments. I’ve been having such a great time making them, and I have expanded my collection to include a few more things…

Here is the full list of what you can choose from so far:
Starfish, Blue Whales, North Atlantic Right Whales, Seals, Seagulls, Mackerel, Hummingbirds, White Sharks, Puffins and Runner Ducks!
If you have a request for anything specific, please reach out and we can discuss if it’s possible!
(Some things are just too intricate/detailed to cut out and do not work unfortunately..)

⭐️ There is now another option in addition to the ornaments: FRIDGE MAGNETS! 🤩 For year round use/display! The ornaments will also look great hanging anywhere since they aren’t seasonal decor, they don’t have to be exclusive to your tree! (The magnets will be the same animals and shapes, just without a hook and string.)⭐️

If there is any interest in these, I will take orders now and will resume creating them in the new year. Just let me know what animals you want and if they’re meant to be magnets or ornaments! Magnets and ornaments are $10 each.

✨ ALSO… ✨

These will ship very easily! Depending on what you want and how many, several can fit together in a bubble mailer and be sent as letter mail for $4 (potentially more if you buy a lot! 😉). So, if you’d like some but don’t live around here, I can get them to you! 😁

Don’t forget; every single ornament is made by me so they’re all unique and slightly different, they are not mass produced from a computer and are made with great care!

Thank you all so much for everything, I hope you are all well! ❤️

New wooden ornaments; runner ducks!!! 😍

Like the sharks, I make each one myself. They aren’t mass produced, so each one is a little different and unique. They’re made to order!

Please let me know if you’re interested, they’re $10 as well! Thank you! ☺️

12/12/2025

With wreath orders finishing up, I’m making some other fun things now!

White shark Christmas ornaments!!! If you’d like one (or multiple 😉) let me know! They are $10 each. Perfect stocking stuffers or last minute gifts! 😁

They are not mass produced from a computer program, I make each one myself so they’re all a little bit different and unique, but so is each and every white shark in nature!

The second image is just to give you an idea of their size.

11/29/2025

Some creations so far! 😊

All the wreaths that are shown are for orders, and are not for sale.

The centrepieces/mini planters are though! They are $15 each.

It’s hard to capture how each wreath actually looks on camera. They all look similar in the pictures (I also only have a few different materials to work with, so they will all be somewhat alike), but they do look unique and different in person.

Only got a few made yesterday because I had to go and harvest/process even more materials… 😬
