Now booking Fall & Winter ‘26

Although I’m not a retail florist, there are often times when I need to create something a season ahead.

I needed to get some shots of a secondary style for my upcoming winter holiday workshops, but it’s still fall and sunny and mild and I refuse to have Christmas greens in my house right now. 😂

Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m extra thankful this year for the ongoing support from you all. As many of you know, Planted went on a bit of a hiatus this year.

And it was during that hiatus that I realized where my focus should have always remained—right here.

This upcoming winter season will be right back on track with holiday porch installs, and centrepiece workshops are already getting booked.

2027 will bring a focus on florals, with weddings and events at the forefront—but don’t worry, planters and workshops aren’t going anywhere. 💚

Just a little harvest haul video. ✂️

Honestly wondering what else I left off my résumé. 🤔

Cutting your flowers and foliage early in the day helps them stay hydrated—but so does all the rain we got last night. Some dark, moody foliage for tomorrow’s wedding: one stem of smoke bush for the bridal bouquet and plenty of ninebark for the arch. Limelight hydrangeas for that dusty rose colour will make up the base of the arch pieces. This really is my favourite time of year. ♥️

Just a random Wednesday at my house 💜♥️🧡

Fall workshop planning is in full swing! I’ll be at Vince’s in Sharon October 7 & 8, guiding guests as they create their own Thanksgiving centrepiece.

Tickets will be available soon, so be sure to stay tuned!

I know it’s been quiet over here for a while, but I’m so grateful to get back into the swing of things with tomorrow’s lavender & white wedding. There’s just something about this palette that I just love. 💜🤍

Although I’m currently taking a break from new bookings for wedding and event florals, fall and winter workshop updates will be happening soon!

Planter install today in Stouffville, and wanted to show this driveway border garden I did a few years ago. A row of armour stone, Veronica (I think Blue Skywalker, but truthfully can’t remember), and Northwind switchgrass (my favourite, I just planted eight at my own house) create a vertical divide between very close asphalt strips.

Although the flowers haven’t opened yet, and the grasses still have about two feet to grow, they’re looking good for early in the season.

Love to see the spaces I created once they establish. 💚

It’s not a Planted By Peter garden without Northwind Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum).

Steel blue green leaves that turn golden in the fall, stay dense and upright (even all winter), and have delicate, wispy seed heads. There’s a reason this is my absolute favourite ornamental grass to use in garden designs. 💙

I would never leave 💚

When I say I’m “in a mood”, this is what I mean.

Contrasting burgundy begonias, chartreuse club moss, and caladium and coleus with both those striking tones = dramatic matching patio planters.

Once the Appleblossom impatiens start to bloom, these pots are going to truly pop in the shade. 😎
