Hi, Denise here — the grower, florist, and hands behind Curly Willows. This little farm started with a long-held love of flowers. Even as a kid, I can remember being drawn to my aunt’s dahlias. Over the years, I’ve created perennial beds, dug ponds, and built garden paths—always chasing that feeling of beauty and calm that flowers bring.

When the pandemic hit, we were home more than usual, and I started a small vegetable and flower garden just to keep my hands busy. Within three years, Curly Willows had quietly taken shape. The name comes from two long-neglected curly willow trees on the property that felt like a fitting symbol for new life.

Although we have an acre, the farm itself uses only about a quarter of that. Most of our flowers are started from seed in early March in a small grow room, and the gardens shift with the seasons.

In spring, we grow ranunculus, anemones, and peonies. Later in the season, you’ll find cosmos, snapdragons, zinnias in all colours, marigolds, basil, gladiolus, dahlias, and statice. Our perennial beds are home to delphinium, brown-eyed Susans, lilies, eryngium, and even a patch of asparagus. Rose bushes are tucked throughout the garden, blooming here and there as they please.

Curly Willows is small but full of heart — and I’m so happy you’re here to be a part of it.
