In the great land of Saskatchewan, Canada,
where greenhouses are plentiful,
where geraniums and petunias and marigolds abound,
there is one special greenhouse,
just 15 minutes from Saskatoon,
that sits in the middle of an enchanted forest,
that is very, very, different...........
Solar Gardens
& The Living Art Company
Our Retail Centre is located at our beautiful acreage where we live with our Komondor, Cala, surrounded by gorgeous gardens, original art, and greenhouses stuffed full of breathtaking succulents (and a few cacti).
In our “Artist in Our Garden” workshops, we offer classes in succulent bowls, hypertufa, artisan bread bakery, and specialty Christmas cooking classes.
Our Retail Centre carries only products that we would personally have and use in our own home and garden, with many of the items being handmade by local artisans.
In addition to growing all of our succulents in our onsite greenhouses. we also supply glass greenhouses (imported from Denmark) to the gardening enthusiast.
As well as offering succulents and gardenware in our retail center we are pleased to offer wholesale to other garden centres, florist shops, and businesses.
Enjoy delicious coffee, cappuccinos, espressos, and a wide selection of tea and blooming teas on our courtyard deck. Who new that the ambiance of a relaxing Parisian rooftop garden could be found in the middle of the prairies?
Christmas at Solar Gardens is magical. Shop for unique gifts and decorations in our warm atmosphere. We promise you will have all sorts of forced blooming flower bulbs to choose from to brighten your Christmas and New Years tabletops. How often have you planned on having a blooming amaryllis for Christmas and it blooms 2 months later (or earlier)? We can help. Choose from blooming amaryliis and other forced bulbs (tulips, daffodils, paperwhites, muscari, snowdrops,and crocus) and your Christmas table will be the envy of all that stop by for that holiday cheer.
Beginning May 2011, Solar Gardens will be present at the Saskatoon Farmer's Market every Wednesday and Saturday. There we offer a beautiful selection of succulents grown exclusively for the Farmer's Market. We do hope you can stop by, especially if you don't have the time or transportation to make the 15 minute drive to Solar Gardens from Saskatoon.
Help us kick off our season opening every year at Gardenscape, which is always the last weekend of March. So this year, stop by and preview our 2011 succulent season at Gardenscape on March 25, 26, and 27. We're always at booths 104 through 108, Hall D. See what's new, what's upcoming, sign up for a class and/or our newsletters, and feast your eyes on our beautiful succulents and other products. Let us get you excited about spring. Let us inspire you with our fresh ideas. We truly would love it if you could stop by and get a peek of Solar Gardens.
We are super excited about one of our newest introductions for Spring 2011. Our "SOLAR GARDENS LIVING WALLS" will be making their debut this spring 2011. Each beautiful, handmade and individually planted living picture is unique. These living walls make exquisite additions to your home and/or garden. These panels can be easily hung in your house or garden, just as easily as a picture frame. Based on your design and space requirements, we can produce any size individual panel or group of panels to suit your requirements. We can also complement your house or garden decor by carefully selecting appropriate succulent plant types and complementary colours. Imagine... a perfect living succulent wall for your favorite sun-drenched room or intimate garden space. To view a few samples, just click on the "ABOUT" button at the top of this or any page, and see a sneak peek of our living walls collection.
And beginning in 2012, Solar Gardens will once again be offering our popular wood-fired pizza in an upgraded and redesigned summer kitchen. We know that our many pizza-loving customers will be disappointed during 2011 to have to wait another year in order to enjoy our thin-crust Italian style pizzas and calzones, but we know you will love the new space and our improvements to the kitchen which will include a larger rebuilt pizza and bread oven. Because we need the 2011 season to make those changes, you might see our work in progress when you come and visit us. (Feel free to grab a hammer or some bricks to help us out!) And don't be worried if the current pizza oven is no longer there when you visit. We will be building a new oven in its place (carefully brick by brick) through 2011 to be up and ready for 2012.
Solar Gardens… Finally… You’ve found a place, where time can wait.
