About Us
The WILD Garden is a flower shop with a rural vibe, a gift shop with an inviting and diverse selection of home accents, country charm and vintage finds. Tropical plants, succulent gardens, and a selection of contemporary or antique plant pots & containers provide perfect gift and home decor solutions. Fresh flowers, locally grown where possible, as well as unique items from our own cutting gardens make for beautiful handcrafted arrangements and bouquets.
The creative inspiration behind the WILD Garden has evolved from the collaboration of our owners, Scott Turner and Richard Dickinson, whose combined horticultural experience spans many years in the garden, the design room and the great outdoors.
Scott’s background in fine art and landscape design is the inspiration behind his 25-plus years as a floral designer. He worked at many fine flower shops in Toronto, before moving to Cannington in 2008 to open a floral establishment focused on our small community but with a wider vision towards floral trends and creative design. Scott’s focus and passion has been a more organic and sculptural perspective to floral design with a particular attention to colour harmonies and the use of natural creative elements such as birch, branches, bark and grasses where appropriate and complementary to the occasion.
Richard is a trained horticulturist with a background in native plants and ecological communities. As the author of several books including the Lone Pine Press field guide, “Plants of Southern Ontario“, Richard brings a wealth of knowledge to our daily work, particularly with regards to the propagation and sale of perennials and shrubs native to Ontario. The promotion of gardening using native plants to attract local wildlife including bees, butterflies & birds, has been a spring and summer focus of ours at the WILD Garden.
The WILD Garden is a celebration of life in the garden, the changing seasons, and that irresistible impulse that finds us bringing the outdoors into our homes, our cottages and work places….with beautiful flowers, plants, and decor that reminds us of the touchstones that are our community, our family and the natural world around us….Drop by for a look! We’ll be glad to see you!
