As some of may know, I do all the photography for our social media, websites and the like! So, I’ve combined my two loves - photography and plants over at Colour Paradise Greenhouses!

And this years, I’m offering fall mini shoots at Colour Paradise! We're offering 30 minute sessions, inside and outside the greenhouse!

The weather has been super unpredictable lately, so I'm excited to have an indoor and outdoor location to shoot!

Inside the greenhouse is super cozy and lush green. Wear a hat, bring a colourful blanket or sweater, bring your family, your kiddos, your sweetheart, even your pet!

And while you’re there, pick up a mum for your porch and shop their gorgeous selection of tropicals inside the greenhouse! 🍂🍁🪴🌿

Sessions are available through the week of October 16th.

It's that time of year again - Fall! And to celebrate, of course, our favourites, succulent pumpkins. This year, the pumpkins are a little more gardeny, focusing on sedums and sempervivums (Also known as Hens and Chicks) the great upside to this is the majority of the succulents can be planted right in your garden this fall after Thanksgiving has passed! Sempervivums and extremely hardy to our Southern Ontario climate and will root in any rocky/sandy soil. Be sure to plant them in an area with bright direct sunlight.

Succulent pumpkins are available via our Instagram stories - now!
