Some products just make sense once you see them in use. Simply Straw is a locally made straw mulch designed for exactly what Calgary gardens need — holding moisture, regulating soil temperature, and reducing how often you're chasing things with a hose.

In a climate where sun and wind dry soil out quickly, mulch isn't optional — it's one of the simplest ways to keep plants consistent and healthy. Simply Straw is clean, easy to apply, and works especially well in vegetable gardens, raised beds, and around new plantings. It's not flashy, but by mid-summer, the difference is clear.

There's something honest about a tool made by hand — especially one that's been made the same way for generations.

These brooms are crafted using traditional methods that go back over 250 years. No nails, no screws, no shortcuts — just skill, time, and a material that still does its job well.

They're not just decorative. These are functional pieces you can actually use:

✔ Floor brooms

✔ Hearth brooms

✔ Cobweb brooms

✔ and yes, even the occasional flying broom

Each one carries a bit of that old-world practicality — the kind of thing that feels simple, but isn't.

Want to Make Your Own?

We also offer hands-on broom-making workshops with master broom maker David Campbell.

It's a chance to slow down, learn something real, and walk away with something you made yourself — not assembled, not manufactured.

Workshops run through the season.

Not everyone has the time to make one — fair enough.

We carry a selection of handwoven brooms in-store, ready to use or gift.

They're practical, a little unexpected, and tend to be remembered.

From Mandelry Sod right here in Alberta, Vivero Summer Blend is an easy way to support lawn health without overcomplicating things. It combines a light nutrient feed with humic acid to help improve soil structure, water retention, and overall turf performance.

In Calgary, where lawns deal with dry stretches, variable weather, and less-than-perfect soil, this kind of support goes a long way. It's simple to apply, easy to work into a routine, and helps keep lawns looking consistent through the tougher parts of summer.

Vivero Humic Acid — Build Better Soil From the Ground Up:

Also from Mandelry Sod, Vivero Humic Acid is a simple way to improve what's happening below the surface. It helps increase soil fertility, improve water retention, and support stronger root growth across lawns, trees, shrubs, and garden beds.

In Calgary's dry, often compacted soils, this kind of support makes a noticeable difference. It helps water stay where it's needed and gives plants a better foundation to grow from — especially through the heat and dry stretches of summer.

When you're seeding or laying sod, getting things going properly makes all the difference. Scotts Starter is designed for exactly that — giving new grass the nutrients it needs to establish quickly and evenly.

In Calgary, where conditions can turn dry and unpredictable, a strong start helps lawns fill in faster and handle stress better. It's simple to apply and takes some of the guesswork out of those early stages, when consistency matters most.

Once your lawn is up and growing, Scotts Turf Builder helps keep it that way. It provides a balanced feed to maintain colour, thickness, and overall health through the active growing season.

In Calgary, lawns can look great one week and a little tired the next, especially with heat and dry conditions. A steady feed helps keep things consistent, so you're not constantly trying to bring it back.

Simple to apply, easy to work into your routine, and a solid way to keep your lawn looking the way you want it to.

For those looking to take a more natural and local approach, Doug Organic Fertilizer focuses on building soil health first. With options like Root, Green, and Bloom, it supports plants at every stage — from establishment to full-season growth.

In Calgary, where soil structure and moisture retention can make or break a garden, feeding the soil biology helps plants perform more consistently over time. It's a steady, long-game approach that fits everything from vegetables to perennials.

Terrafibre Hemp Grow Mats and Mulch Mats take the idea of mulch and make it cleaner, faster, and more precise. Instead of spreading loose material, these natural fibre mats go right where you need them — holding moisture, suppressing weeds, and protecting soil from temperature swings.

In Calgary, where conditions can shift quickly, that kind of consistency matters. They're especially useful for vegetable rows, new plantings, and anywhere you want to reduce watering and maintenance without adding bulk.

Simple to place, natural, and effective — it's mulch, just done a little differently.

These acacia wood planters bring a bit of warmth and structure to any space — patios, entryways, or tucked into the garden. The natural wood finish softens hard edges and pairs well with just about anything you plant in them.

Beyond looks, they're practical. Sturdy, well-sized, and easy to work with, they give roots room to grow while keeping things contained and tidy.

In Calgary, where containers do a lot of heavy lifting, having something that holds up and still looks good through the season makes a difference.

For larger properties and serious cleanup, the STIHL BRA 280, 500, and 600 backpack blowers bring professional-level performance into a battery platform. Built for power and comfort, they're designed to handle everything from light debris to full seasonal cleanup without the noise and maintenance of gas.

In Calgary, where wind and yard debris tend to show up all at once, that kind of capability makes a real difference. More airflow, longer run time, and balanced weight mean you can cover more ground without wearing yourself out.

If you're ready to move beyond handheld tools, this is where things start to feel efficient.

The STIHL GTA 40 is one of those tools that ends up getting used more than expected. Compact, battery-powered, and easy to handle, it's built for quick pruning, light cutting, and general cleanup without hauling out a full chainsaw.

For Calgary yards, it's a natural fit:

✔ trimming branches

✔ cutting back shrubs

✔ handling small wood cleanups

If you're ready to move beyond handheld tools, this is where things start to feel efficient.

The STIHL KOA 20 is a compact battery-powered pressure cleaner built for quick jobs around the yard. It's ideal for rinsing tools, cleaning pots, washing down patios, or knocking the dirt off before things get tracked inside.

In Calgary, where water use and convenience both matter, it's a practical middle ground — more effective than a hose, but without the setup of a full pressure washer. Quick to grab, easy to use, and surprisingly handy once it's around.

The STIHL PS 1 is a compact, portable power supply designed to work with the AS battery system. It gives you a simple way to charge devices or power small essentials when you're already running STIHL tools.

It's one of those quiet upgrades:

✔ backup power when you need it

✔ added flexibility on the go

✔ makes your battery system do more than just run tools

If you're already in the STIHL ecosystem, this is a small addition that expands what everything else can do.

The STIHL SHA 56 and SHA 140 take yard cleanup a step further by combining blowing and vacuuming into one tool. Clear debris, then switch modes and collect it — simple as that.

For Calgary yards, especially in fall or after a windy stretch, that flexibility makes a difference:

✔ blow leaves and debris into place

✔ vacuum and reduce it into a manageable pile

✔ keep things tidy without multiple tools

Battery-powered and easy to handle, they're built for real cleanup without overcomplicating it.

The STIHL RMA 348 and RMA 353 battery mowers are built for straightforward, reliable lawn care. Quiet, easy to start, and simple to handle, they take the friction out of mowing — no gas, no cords, no extra steps.

For Calgary yards, where mowing windows can be short and conditions change quickly, that ease matters. You can get out, get it done, and move on without fuss.

They're a solid fit for homeowners looking for clean, consistent cuts and a simpler way to keep the lawn in shape.

In Calgary, it's not unusual for a warm stretch to be followed by a sharp overnight dip. These frost protection covers are an easy way to protect tender plants without scrambling at the last minute.

Designed to slip over plants quickly, they help hold in heat and reduce frost damage. Options include simple pull-over styles and versions with zippers and drawstrings for larger plants — both easy to use and reusable through the season.

It's one of those things you don't think about… until you need it. And when you do, you're glad it's there.

Not every "new product" lives in the garden — but this one earns its spot.

These 4-in-1 charging cables cover the basics with a single cord, handling multiple device types (USB-A, USB-C, Lightning) without the usual tangle of extras. Available in longer lengths as well, they're handy whether you're in the house, garage, or out working in the yard.

✔ one cable for multiple devices

✔ fewer cords to keep track of

✔ long enough to actually reach where you need it

It's simple, practical, and the kind of thing that quietly solves a problem you run into more often than expected.

Elho planters bring a modern, minimal look to containers, with colours and shapes that fit just about any space — from patios to entryways to indoor corners.

Made from recycled materials and designed to handle the elements, they're lightweight, durable, and easy to work with. In Calgary, where containers take on sun, wind, and temperature swings, that reliability matters.

Simple, good-looking, and built to perform — they're an easy upgrade for any planting.

Whether you're starting fresh or filling in thin areas, the right lawn seed blend makes all the difference. Options like Classic, Shady Turf, and Overseeder are designed to match real conditions — full sun, lower light, or patch repair.

In Calgary, where lawns deal with dry conditions, variable light, and wear, choosing the right mix helps you get better results with less guesswork. It's not just about putting seed down — it's about matching the seed to the space.

A good blend, used at the right time, goes a long way toward a thicker, more resilient lawn.

These Pacific Rim geometric and classic arch trellises bring structure where gardens often need it most — up.

Clean lines or traditional curves, both styles give climbing plants something to work with while adding a strong visual element to the space. Whether it's clematis, peas, beans, or even just a bit of vertical interest, they help turn empty space into something useful.

In Calgary, where garden space can be tight and every bit counts, growing vertically isn't just attractive — it's practical.

Simple to place, easy to use, and a solid way to add height, shape, and purpose to a planting.

mySoil Organic Potting Mix is a high-quality, Canadian-made blend designed for containers, raised beds, and general planting. Built with organic ingredients and a balanced structure, it gives roots the air, moisture, and nutrients they need to get established and keep growing.

In Calgary, where conditions can swing from dry to saturated quickly, having a mix that drains well but still holds moisture makes a real difference. It's easy to work with, consistent, and suitable for everything from vegetables and herbs to flowers and houseplants.

A good potting mix doesn't get much attention — but it's what everything else depends on.

These Astro Plaques from Cast Art Studios add a more personal layer to the garden. Featuring zodiac designs in a classic cast style, they're made to hold up outdoors while adding a bit of meaning to a space.

Available in both large and small sizes, they work just as well tucked into a garden bed as they do on a wall, fence, or patio. It's a simple way to mark a space, give a thoughtful gift, or add something a little more permanent to the garden.

Not everything in the garden has to grow — some things are there to stay.

These Cast Art bull horn pieces are not subtle — and that's the point.

With a weathered, cast finish and strong lines, they bring a bold, sculptural element into the garden. Whether placed as a focal point in a bed, near an entry, or worked into a more structured outdoor space, they hold attention without needing anything around them to explain it.

Available in multiple sizes, they're built for outdoor use and designed to age into the space over time.

This isn't filler decor.

It's a statement piece — and it works best when you let it be one.

Not new — but definitely worth mentioning.

This Esschert Design bonsai aluminum wire is finally back in stock after being hard to find for a long stretch. If you've been waiting to get back into shaping, training, or refining your plants, this is the piece that makes it possible.

Lightweight, easy to work with, and designed to guide growth without damaging branches, it's a simple tool that gives you real control over form and structure.

Sometimes the most important "new" product… is the one you couldn't get when you needed it.

These Ficonstone planters offer the look of stone without the weight that usually comes with it. Made from a composite material, they're durable, weather-resistant, and much easier to move and position than traditional concrete.

In Calgary, where containers deal with sun, wind, and temperature swings, that balance of strength and practicality matters. They hold up well through the season and give roots a stable, consistent environment to grow in.

We carry a selection from the collection — enough to give you solid options without overcomplicating the choice.

The Henri Studio Birch Bird Bath brings a natural, grounded feel to the garden with its cast stone design and detailed birch bark texture. Solid, weather-resistant, and built in two pieces, it's made to stay put and age into the space over time.

At 24 inches high, it sits right where birds feel comfortable — visible, accessible, and easy to use. And in Calgary, where water sources can be limited, that matters more than most people realize.

It's not just decorative.

It supports birds, helps pollinators, and adds a quiet, steady presence to the garden — with the added bonus of that unmistakable sound of water nearby.
