Christmas tunes have hit the airwaves everywhere, a surefire sign that the holidays are just around the corner. As the tree gets decorated and your social calendar fills up, it’s also time to tackle your holiday to-gift list.
We carry a wide selection of gifts to browse from online and in-store, here at Royal City Nursery. There’s something for everyone, including the avid gardeners, passionate plant parents, and even the non-plant-loving people in your life!
For your garden and bird-loving friends and family, we’re all stocked up on seeding supplies, bird feeders, gardening tools, and more.
Although we’re just settling into winter, the gardeners in your circle are probably already daydreaming of spring. For your friends and family that enjoy starting the garden planning process early, here are some of the best gift ideas for beginner gardeners.
We carry seed supplies, and seed packages from Northern Wildflowers, Renee’s Garden, and OSC to help kickstart the inspiration for garden design. Besides the seeds themselves, we also carry growers pots, rooting gel, peat pellets, and more!
Our garden centre also has a variety of gardening tools available, which are practical gifts for seasoned gardeners and those just starting out. We carry the likes of pruners, ergonomic hand transplanters, watering cans, and so much more.
For bird-lovers, we carry seed, nut, bug, and fruit feast cakes for woodpeckers and a variety of wild birds; along with neat feeders to slot them in.
Supporting our neighbourhood birds with a backyard feeder can be fulfilling in many ways. It helps the birds access food resources that are harder to find naturally in the winter time, plus it attracts colourful visits and bird songs during the darkest days of the year.
Besides food for the birds, we also carry a handful of stunning bird ornaments for your Christmas tree that you can admire and show off.
Winter is here, and most of us are spending the majority of our time inside. It’s the perfect time to focus on the great indoors, and get our gardening fix by tending to houseplants.
Although indoor gardening at this time can be slightly challenging due to decreased natural light and fluctuations in temperatures, there’s still a lot of gift giving that can be done for plant parents!
Browse our large variety of lush, tropical plants, where we carry a mix of popular houseplants and also some of the more rare varieties.
Besides the plants themselves, we also carry houseplant accessories such as bendable coir poles to train your trailing plants to climb to new heights.
One great gift idea for your plant-loving friends is the electronic plant mister. Made by Mossify, it increases humidity for plants that suffer from heating vents or a fireplace. Another could be a bottle of premium houseplant fertilizer to give your plants an added boost.
For the element of surprise, we also offer a houseplant subscription program that allows us to pick out the perfect plant for your friends’ and families’ homes. We even take into account animal-lovers, and curate houseplants that are non-toxic to family pets.
We also carry puzzles and games at our lifestyle shop—The Tsuga Boutique. Perfect for those cozy nights after dinner at the cottage, or for game night with friends—our games include the likes of ‘Family Bingo,’ ‘Charlie Brown Christmas’ playing cards, and a ‘Snoopy’-themed puzzle. Puzzles and games are sold in-store only, so be sure to come by and browse what we have in person!
Ahead of the fast-approaching holiday season, we’re a one-stop-shop for all your gift giving needs. Come visit us at Royal City Nursery to put a dent in your gifts, decoration, and shopping wishlists!
