Gone Gardening with Leah

Welcome to Gone Gardening with Leah! We are an indigenous owned business in Toronto, Ontario Canada. We are unique in that we are an actual 6000 square feet flower farm on the border of Toronto itself at The Village at Black Creek and are TTC accessible. We also have one of the best dahlia collections in Canada, with many of the rarest unicorns of all. We have also expanded to a farm in Hamilton.

We practice Mother earth friendly growing practices, using mostly natural ingredients or predator species for pest control. We sanitize our snips when cutting and we hand dig all of our dahlia tubers, to help prevent the spread of disease. We try our best to give you the most healthiest plants possible.

We are members of CCDS, ADS, HDCDS and a few other acronyms. We are involved in our local dahlia society, through donating products like tubers and flowers, and competing.

We are licensed to sell KA's varieties for Canada and pay royalties to Kristine Albrect, as well as working on royalty agreements with other hybridizers. We feel that offering royalties to dahlia hybridizers honours their hard work and the amount of time and money that they pour into creating new varieties. Hybridizers are partially artists and partially scientists and should be allowed to benefit from their creations.

While our main crop is dahlias, we are working towards some other cut flower crops. More to come!

On top of everything else, we are also involved in our local community through projects like starting a seed bank at our children's school, donating food to our local food bank and assisting Topcliff Public School win a TD Friends of the Environment Foundation Grant. We will be installing a pollinator garden in September 2024 and will be documenting the process for TD Bank's promotional material. Look for Gone Gardening with Leah in City of Toronto, TDSB and TD Bank social media!

If you are interested in following us on social media my Facebook page is Gone Gardening and our Instagram handle is @Gonegardeningwithleah. I post more on Instagram, more announcements are done there than anywhere else.

We look forward to sharing our love of gardening with you this year and many years to come.

Leah and Matt
