Heat advisory update (Tuesday, June 23)

With temperatures climbing today, we’re making the decision to close early to help keep both our customers safe and comfortable.

Working in the greenhouses, and outdoor spaces during extreme heat can quickly become challenging even with plenty of water and shade breaks.

Our team has been working hard to care for the plants, assist customers and keep everything looking beautiful, but safety comes first. We want to ensure everyone gets home healthy and hydrated at the end of the day.

We encourage everyone to take it easy, drink lots of water, seed shade when possible, and save any heavy gardening for the cooler hours of the morning and evening.

Thank you for understanding and support. We look forward to seeing you again tmr!

The Holden Lake Farm & Garden Team.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandpas, stepdads, and father figures who help things grow—whether it’s a garden, a family, or both.

To celebrate, we’re having a little fun and we need your best dad joke.

Here’s how it works:
• Drop your favourite dad joke in the comments below.
• We’ll pick our favourite joke of the day.
• One lucky participant will also win a $15 Holden Lake Farm & Garden Gift Card through a random draw at the end of the day.

The cornier the better. We love dad jokes.

Did you know one of the best ways to keep your mind active is also one of the simplest?

Step outside. Wander through the garden. Stop and admire a flower. Drop off a bouquet for a friend. Share a conversation over coffee. These small moments do more than brighten someone’s day—they help keep us connected to our community, our surroundings, and each other.

Gardening gives our brains a gentle workout too. We plan, learn, problem-solve, and sometimes even remember where we planted things last spring (although some of us are still searching for those mystery bulbs). ^_^

Challenge your mind this summer and lift your spirits by doing something simple:
• Visit a neighbour
• Share flowers with a friend
• Try a new plant in the garden
• Spend a few quiet minutes outdoors

A little fresh air, a little conversation, and a little colour can go a long way.

After all, flowers don’t just grow gardens—they grow connections.

And if you’d like an excuse to brighten someone else’s day, our Buy One, Get One Free hanging basket sale is the perfect opportunity to keep one and share one with a friend. Because happiness, like flowers, is even better when it’s shared.

What’s your favourite way to connect with your community or find joy in your garden?

Island grown quality you can see and taste.
Where quality takes root, from rare finds to timeless favourites.
