The de minimus exemption for the U.S. has ended today. We ARE still shipping to the United States, however, you’ll notice that our website now charges duties as a surcharge. Shipping is still flat-rate: $20 CAD for orders under $80, and free shipping for orders $80+. 💜

A new edition would be great! It’s been in our library for years and I always recommend it to folks so we thought it would be a nice addition to the shop this year

Very long day, but there were great highlights, including a stop at @seafoamlavender.bsky.social to walk amongst the lavender and top up my supply of their excellent products. Lavender is my thing. #gardensky #bloomscrolling #pollinators

Thank you for sharing!! So nice to have you at the farm today! 🥰

If you love wildlife, native plant gardening is the best. If you build it, they will come. We started with swamp milkweed and got monarch visitors. Over time and building our collection, we’ve had a dramatic increase in biodiversity! Birds, insects, and small mammals all benefit! #NovaScotia

Nova Scotia Gardeners: This Sunday, June 22nd, is our 2nd annual Native Plant Sale. We began adding native plants to our gardens to support pollinators and because they are unique and eye-catching for all seasons. Come see our gardens (formal tours at 11am, 1, and 3pm) and take a plant home!

We use the cardboard box method in this video and it works very well: youtu.be/kwCC9Iv7Ang?...

Yes! Ours bloom all season 🎉

Armeria (Sea Thrift) :) they come in beautiful pink and white hues

You simply cannot beat the colours available for pelargoniums. We overwinter ours bare-root in the basement and they get HUGE after a couple of seasons

A field with freshly planted willow cuttings in short rows behind rows of dormant lavender plants. In the distance are conifer trees, scrub, and a hay meadow #gardening #novascotia

We’ve had a section of our lavender field that has never thrived because natural springs + heavy clay soil make it too wet for #lavender roots to be happy. Tired of fighting our soil, we ripped out that section of lavender and have planted a #willow #coppice instead!

Happy #EarthDay from Seafoam Lavender! This monarch butterfly emerged from her chrysalis last summer on the farm. Our gardens will soon be springing to life for the many native pollinators that live here with us. We can’t wait!
