Captivating and Uncommon Blooms
Located on the banks of the Saint Lawrence River, Hardscrabble Orchard & Gardens offers specialty cut flowers throughout the growing season. Our flowers are grown locally, with love.
What’s Growing
Outside, it’s minus 20 and everything is blanketed under snow all the way to the other side of the river. But the light is coming back and already the afternoons are stretching into evening with the promise of long golden hours. The plants know that spring is coming, too, and the forsythia and pussy willows are budding out…
What we do
We grow flowers that we love and love the flowers we grow. Our small-scale farm, on the banks of the Saint Lawrence River, allows us to nurture uncommon varieties of cutting flowers in our cottage style garden beds. From agapanthus to old-fashioned garden roses to specialty zinnias, our blooms are close to our hearts. The lilacs and some of the tulips and peonies were planted by Stephen’s grandmother. Our seasonal bouquets and subscriptions are full of flowers we’ve fallen in love on our travels, from hellebores that remind us of England, where we lived in while Stephen was in grad school, hydrangeas and irises from Japan, where we lived in rural Nagano Prefecture for eight years, to foliage from my native Australia. We strive to grow as organically and regeneratively as possible, actively promoting biodiversity by including native plants in all our gardens and nurturing keystone species across our property.
Bouquets and subscriptions will be available for pick up from 11538 Lakeshore Drive, Iroquois, Ontario.
Local delivery is available for floral bouquets and custom arrangements. Get in touch to find out about our delivery rates.
