Birchwood Gardens Co. designs, plants and tends gardens for busy homeowners and second homes across South Simcoe and the Headwaters. You enjoy the garden. We do the kneeling.
Whether it is the home you reach on Friday nights or the one you leave every morning at seven, the garden always seems to need you exactly when you are not there. That is the gap we fill. One dedicated gardener who knows your property, your plants and your standards, on a schedule that never needs reminding.
Take one, or let us handle the lot. Most clients start with a design and stay for the maintenance.
We measure your space, design it to scale, and show you the mature garden in 3D before a single shovel hits the ground. Then we supply and plant everything, properly spaced for what it becomes rather than what it looks like in the pot.
Scheduled visits on a rhythm that suits your garden: weeding, pruning, deadheading, edging, feeding, watering. You will see the difference, without ever having to make it.
Spring opening: beds cleaned, mulch refreshed, pruning done before you have thought about it. Fall closing: perennials cut back, tender plants protected, everything tucked in for an Ontario winter.
A garden is never finished. It is tended, season after season, by someone who cares whether it thrives.
The Birchwood wayA free, no-pressure visit. We measure, note the light and soil, and listen to how you actually want to use the space.
You get a to-scale plan and a 3D preview of the garden at maturity, plus an itemized quote. Every plant, every price, no vague allowances.
Quality nursery stock, planted right and spaced for its full-grown size. No overcrowded beds that need ripping out in three years.
Scheduled care visits with a photo update each time, so even from the city you know exactly how the garden looks today.
Every design is built in our own planning studio with a database of over 800 Ontario-hardy species at their true mature sizes. The maple goes where its 14-metre canopy belongs. The hydrangeas are spaced for year five instead of day one. The quote is priced plant-by-plant from real nursery stock.
You approve the exact garden you will get. No surprises, horticultural or financial.
The kind of planting we love: layered, hardy, and better every year.
Birchwood Gardens Co. grows out of Birchwood Acres, our Alliston essential oil shop built on the same belief: natural products and honest prices, done properly or not at all.
We are a small, owner-run company by choice. The person who designs your garden is the person who plants it, and the person you text when the peonies flop. We keep our client list short so every property gets looked after like it is ours.
Every plan is drawn to scale, every quote is itemized, and every visit ends with photos in your inbox. That is the whole pitch: craft, transparency, and a garden that is thriving whether you are home or not.
Carefully curated botanical oils from the family that tends your garden. Lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint and more, selected with the same care we bring to a flower bed.
