About Anna's Perennials
For the 2007 season, we have moved our entire operation to our 97-acre "lot," 10 km north of our old location. We are located at 63 Shoreview Rd , just off of Pigeon Lake Rd. (15 min east of Lindsay, and 10 min south of Bobcaygeon.) |
We have owned that property since 2000, and have been building gardens and seed beds with the intent of building a new home and having ample space to expand the business.
We currently have several acres of gardens that include mostly full sun-low maintenance mixed beds, a shade garden that is the start of a 2 acre woodland garden, several large, well drained, raised beds containing mostly sempervivums, jovibarbas and other drought resistant plants as well as a large sand bed containing cacti and yuccas. |
Garden View |
| We have several ponds and water features (some still under construction) as well as a "Hosta House" and other garden structures and features. |

In December 2005 we moved an old one room schoolhouse (circa 1904) and started the renovations.
In November 2006 we sold our old property and moved to the new location.
Our gardens are in a constant state of construction, not only changing but increasing in size, type and number. |
About Anna
Anna is originally from Poland, and came to Canada in 1989. In Poland she spent 2 years at Horticultural College, and worked at the local Farmers Co-op. In her spare time she worked in local orchards, and grew and sold some of her own plants. |
After moving to her "cottage" from the Toronto area with her new husband in 1994, her gardens were growing, and after two years, she started selling a few plants and seedlings out of that location .. thus Anna's Perennials was started.
Anna's European background, and formal schooling at College gives her a different perspective towards style of planting, and incorporating many of the plants that are not popular here, but are in other parts of the world. |
Frequent Visitors |
| In spring of 2000, Anna and her husband purchased a 97 acre property less than 10 km north of the 'cottage' location. First they built several acres of gardens, and nursery beds. Then in late 2005 house construction/renovation started. The old location was sold and the family started living at the new site in November of 2006. |
Spring Surprise |
Since 2003 Anna's Perennials has been a vendor at the Peterborough "For the Love of Gardening" show. For several years, Anna has been giving talks/demonstrations to various horticultural groups in the area on many different topics, such as 'drought tolerant plants,' 'building and planting garden troughs' and 'planting in poor soil.' |
