Arthur Greenhouses is a small family run nursery located east of Arthur. We grow bedding plants, herbs, hanging baskets, planters, perennials, (fruit) shrubs and (fruit) trees in our 3 greenhouses and outside. Every year we repack flower/ herb / vegetable seeds in smaller bags ideal for the home grower. It is the same seed that we use in our nursery and in the vegetable field. They are non-GMO, organic and/or heirloom seeds. They do not use chemicals in their nursery.
Thank you Joanna and Patrick info@arthurgreenhouses.ca www.arthurgreenhouses.ca

Cedar Valley Honey, Hillsburgh
Our business grew from a love for the hum of honey bees, a desire to protect these creatures that are so critical to our agricultural system, and a curiosity about beekeeping. Each year we plant an assortment of wildflowers, press local beekeepers for wisdom, pamper our hives, and harvest and bottle our own honey. Our honey is unpasteurized to preserve the goodness of its natural state. Our flower to table products including honey, honey lollipops, Styx, and wax are homemade using 100% Ontario wildflower/clover honey. Honey 1kg - $18 500g - $10 250g- $6 Creamed Honey 500g - $14 250g- $10 Honey Sticks - 6pk. $4 Flavours: Wildflower/Clover, Cherry, Watermelon, Apple, Butterscotch, and Cotton Candy New flavours coming soon!!
