The First Sunday in June we set out along the Hwy. 401 and had a lovely afternoon garden centre hopping. I wanted to go to Mason Hogue Gardens and another garden centre I didn't know what name it was but it was just before Richters Herb Specialists.  Set out and got to Mason Houge's and found some really unusal coleus and fushias they have so many plants that are different. Then we continued on to that Garden Centre...it is call Goodwood Gardens Greenhouses.  It is now in my list above. Where I found lovely annuals perennials and house plants. I bought some really sweet double impatiens, they have tiny flowers and other plants. We went along to Richters Herb Specialists and found wonderful selection of herbs and scented geraniums and many other plants and of course many books and all manner of things herbal. I knew the three were close but didn't realize they were that close. I would like to do this again. My plants of course they were all potted up by evening now I am waiting for them to be all bushy.
