Festival of the Maples

The Festival of the Maples will soon be upon us!

We can’t wait for the downtown to be filled with over 100 craft, artisan & food vendors, live music, a delicious pancake breakfast and of course, maple syrup, maple candy, maple cookies, maple fudge, maple taffy; maple inspired everything. So come to Perth, Saturday April 29, from 9am – 4pm for a day of family fun. We will be open and joining in the festivities, and would love to see you.

 

Maple Cookies

We just received a new shipment of Turkey Hill Maple Cream Cookies & Fudge. The cookies are a staff favourite, with their delicious, creamy, maple syrup filling, how could they not be. And the fudge! Don’t get us started on the fudge; made with pure, Canadian maple syrup, it melts in your mouth. We love to add these items to our gift baskets.

Stead Farm Maple Syrup

Kelly’s is a supplier of Stead Maple Syrup, a third generation maple syrup producer, located in Lanark. They make their syrup in a traditional style sugar camp with stainless steel equipment, in a wood fire evaporator. They produce maple syrup of the highest quality, all grades, packaged in 500ml up to 4L bottles. Stop by during the Festival of the Maples to pick up your Stead Maple Syrup and maple candies. Fun fact, Krista’s family owns Stead Farm Maple Syrup.

Caring for Your Roses

This time of year we love getting all kinds of gorgeous roses in the cooler. Which means that when you take them home we want to make sure you enjoy them for as long as possible. That is why our designers have compiled a list of their favourite tricks to keep your roses thriving and gorgeous.

Tip 1: Remove the water picks. When receiving roses in a bouquet, we make sure to individually water pick each of the stems so that they stay hydrated on the way home. Once they have arrived at their destination, make sure to carefully remove the water picks before putting them into a vase with water and the provided preservative.

Tip 2: Temperature is key. In transportation especially, making sure your flowers don’t get too cold is important to ensuring they arrive at their destination safely. To do this, avoid leaving them in a cold space. That way they don’t freeze.

Tip 3: Give your stems a trim. Once your roses have arrived at their destination, it’s important to get them into water. However, before you do that make sure to give the stems a bit of a trim. This will allow the nutrients in the water to flow through the stems correctly and feed the flower properly. When giving them their trim, carefully use a sharp knife and cut an inch from the bottom of the stem, preferably while holding it under water.

Tip 4: Keep them hydrated. Its important to remember to check on the amount of water you have in your vase to ensure that your flowers don’t dry out. Its ideal to water your flowers daily to keep them thriving and lasting the longest.
