There’s something special about the first signs of spring at DeVries Fruit Farm. Even while the air still carries a hint of winter, the garden centre is slowly waking up, bringing colour, life, and the promise of a new growing season.
Right now, our garden centre is in its soft‑opening phase as we work behind the scenes to get everything ready for spring. Pansies have already arrived in all their cheerful colours, ready to brighten porches, planters, and garden beds. These hardy blooms are perfect for the unpredictable early‑season weather, standing up to cool nights while adding instant charm to any outdoor space. Alongside them, you’ll find a variety of spring bulbs—ideal for gardeners who love planning ahead and watching their gardens transform week by week.
Our garden centre is a vibrant part of DeVries Fruit Farm, open from April through October and filled with everything local gardeners need to bring their outdoor spaces to life. As the season progresses, the space transforms—starting with early spring blooms and eventually offering a full range of annuals, perennials, hanging baskets, and vegetable plants. All of our plants are grown locally by trusted suppliers, ensuring the quality, freshness, and hardiness our customers rely on. Whether someone is planting their first garden or refreshing a long‑loved landscape, the garden centre provides a welcoming place to explore, get inspired, and find healthy, beautiful plants that thrive in our region.
As we ease into the season, the garden centre shelves will continue to fill out. Soil, shrubs, bushes, and a wider selection of plants will begin arriving throughout April, marking the true kickoff to our spring gardening season. Whether you’re refreshing a small backyard bed or planning a full landscape project, this is when the garden centre really comes alive with options and inspiration.
Spring may be taking its time this year, but the garden centre at DeVries Fruit Farm is officially on its way. Stop by, soak in the colours, and let the season begin.
