Comments: Brackenrig Nursery has been growing plants on the premises since 1988, for Muskoka and surrounding areas. The greenhouses cover about 14,000 sq.ft. and are mainly used to grow annuals and perennials, in this not always so forgiving climate. Another few acres of growing space is devoted to many varieties of larger sized perennials, shrubs and trees grown in containers. The plants are overwintered outside and are proven to be hardy for this area. We welcome the individual gardener as well as the landscapers. Over the years the nursery has propagated thousands of plants native to Muskoka, as well as naturalized species and we now have a large amount of native plant material available.

Growing plants is our passion, and watching them grow, we feel rejuvenated. Our spirits are lifted high and we continue our quest to grow strong healthy plants with renewed energy. We are excited to inspire other gardeners. Many of us are looking for relieve from everyday stresses. The garden is the ideal place to just ‘be’ and relax. It is a place where we can connect with the natural world, feel part of it. It is a place where we can express ourselves, and let our imagination go wild. It is a place for healing. The more time we spend close to nature, the closer we get to recognizing our true potential. Making use of natural materials, selecting plants suitable for our growing conditions, we aim to work with nature rather than against it.

Nutritionally the produce grown on the farm is as good as organic. The Maple Syrup is produced using organic, kosher and seal of quality guidelines. Customers are encouraged to pick their own berries and vegetables during the growing season as this not only guarantees freshness but can also be very educational and/or therapeutic. Ready picked produce is picked and sold on the day that it is harvested. Rapid post harvest chilling of delicate produce contributes towards optimum quality control.
