Posy Gang

Posy Gang Garden design with a special interest in plants native to North America. Posy Gang is in the business of growing flowers.

In 2016, after a short but life-changing internship at Floralora Flowers in Prince Edward County, Ontario, I broke ground on a large cutting garden at my home in Whitby. From April to October every year since then, I have supplied local florists and customers with the freshest of specialty cut flowers. Tulips, ranunculus, and dahlias are just some of my favourites. While growing cut flowers is im

mensely rewarding, over time I missed seeing flowers living out their whole lives in the garden. And so, garden design and gardening became the other half of my business. Now I get to have the best of both worlds, and I'm grateful to my clients and customers for allowing me that. Whether you'd like me to grow flowers for your vase, or for your garden, I can't wait to get started. Let's talk flowers - find me at [email protected].

I suppose two years is a long enough break from posting on Instagram!

Voici my newest garden, planted fall 2023. “Wild, with vines climbing up and trailing down,” was the brief. “Got it,” I said. Helenium and Calamintha nepeta celebrating out front (missing Liatris spicata which were rabbit food this year); Clematis virginiana making a bride out of the bike shed; Magnolia virginiana, Aesclepia incarnata (swamp milkweed), and heuchera under the front window, loving the extra water from two downspouts and the sump pump outlet; the part shade backyard basking in midday sun; the back from another angle, with Virginia creeper trained up the fence, and a tangle of clematis and Asarina scandens (climbing snapdragon) trailing down the stairwell; clematis, wandering away. I’m waiting anxiously for three Celastrus scandens (American bittersweet) to start climbing the fences back here - but I know once they do, they’ll be unstoppable.

Monthly check-ins for this garden. Low-maintenance but not no-maintenance, and never finished. I’ll never be able to scale what I do, but boy do I love it!

Can you spot the two kinds of iris in this photo? One of them is a small human sneakily plucking all the flowers off my bleeding hearts — to make soup in her dump truck, naturally.

Wishing I could have taken these to the first Toronto Flower Market of the season today! Almost my entire patch is late to the party, but I ended the day with a big twilight tulip harvest — the first big one. I can’t complain! Now with the heat coming on next week, the rest of the tulips are going to be out of the ground in a flash. Posy Gang florists are you ready? It’s go time!!!

Some nice news on the darkest day of the year (and who couldn’t use a bit of light right now): with your help in purchasing Posy Gang calendars, I was able to donate $150 - each - to and .ca. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Gang! Happy Solstice — and oh, my goodness, may we please have some brighter days ahead!

In a cold climate like ours where gardens lie dormant for almost half the year, I’m appreciating more and more the importance of designing with winter at top of mind. What’s left to look good after the frost comes? Hopefully, strong bones. ⁣

In this front yard garden, I’m relying pretty heavily on Calamagrostis Karl Foerster grasses to carry us through till spring. There’s more to enjoy up close - zoom in and swipe through for a look. I left behind a few sedum and echinacea seed heads for the birds; a thick, rattling stand of northern sea oats; English lavender (a bit wild and witchy in part sun, but I like the look); and a luscious clump of winter heath (Ericas, maybe) just beginning to bloom. ⁣

Lately I’ve been dreaming of filling a landscape with swaths of burgundy sumac, chartreuse dogwoods, and layers upon layers (and more layers!) of grasses. Winter wonderland indeed! Anybody have some land just lying around that I could play with? 😛
