Kingfisher Gardens & The Nursery
Set in scenic Hockley Valley, minutes from Orangeville, & an hour’s drive from the GTA, Guelph, Barrie & Collingwood, landscape designer David Warburton has created an enchanting & unique cottage garden. Created to set off his story book straw-bale & Adirondack cottage, the show gardens reflect his passion for plants of every description but especially the unusual & hard to find. The gardens were also designed as teaching tools to provide visitors with a menu of plants to suit every condition: sun, shade & bog, which they can then apply to conditions in their own gardens. Adirondack elements: bridges, gates, a pergola & a lean-to, both beautify the garden & suggest to visitors how they might use similar structures. The water element: a stream, a pond, a bog heavily planted with marginal plants & the Nottawasaga River completes the delightful picture.
Monday –Saturday 9am – 4pm
