Are You Garden Ready?
My first stop for herbs and decorative plants is always Jardins St-Leon, a St.Boniface favourite. It is also a farmers market with delicious fruits, veggies and irresistible local treats. If you're heading there, don't forget to grab a coffee at the Yellow Derny Cafe that's just south on St.Mary's Road, tucked inside Woodcock Cycle Works. Below are the spots I go for my seeds and plants to support local instead of a big box garden centre.
