2024!
We are open for special orders through the summer. Please send a message! Due to the city development coming we are unsure what the future looks like: however, we aim to have the driveway stand open Saturdays mid July-Aug
Growing & arranging flowers
for you.
The 7th year of growing and creating in SW Edmonton
We respectfully acknowledge being located on Treaty 6 Territory and the learning and relationship building with land and people that Treaty calls us towards
Support Local!
Purchasing a “grown and designed right here” bouquet or special occasion arrangement will not only bring joy to you or the recipient, it is also a ‘vote’ towards creating local economy, celebrating community, and honest hard work!
We love meeting people and creating beauty- thanks for your interest!
This year we will be downsizing our driveway stand sales in order for me to have more time building up the soil and perennials, and to vision for the future. We will update with dates for the stand which may be open in the fall. For the summer months we will have bouquet subscriptions including “bouquet buckets” (all the stems you need to arrange your own bouquet!). You can also make a special order ahead of time! Thanks for stopping by!

Summer 2024- we are planting cover crops and giving the soil a break while we assess next steps with the city development coming. Still loving the soil and wanting to share all things local!
You can pre-order an arrangement if you give at least 3 days notice. The season will be from July 15 until it freezes!

About the flower farm
I (Lindsay) have always loved being in the garden, and creating beauty. This little 1 acre flower farm is a bit of an experiment on our family acreage just southwest of Edmonton. A little driveway stand has been a fun way to connect with community, and learning about/caring for our local ecosystem here in Treaty 6 Territory. Our neighbour’s and passerby’s support has been wonderful so far!
We take great care to incorporate various organic and permaculture techniques as we “grow” and steward our soil. We grow only outdoors, no greenhouses through the season. Great care is taken to have a plastic-free bouquet experience!
It is a learning adventure to work with Alberta’s short growing season: the long days, the many annuals started indoors early March, and the gorgeous native perennials we are cultivating. This is our 5th year of growing for you!
Find us 1.5km south of Maskêkosihk Trail (23rd ave) on Winterburn Road (215st)
Our season is from the first week of July until it freezes! Generally flowers will be out Wednesday evenings and Sundays but check the road signs and Instagram if you’re coming from afar. Keep in mind it is first come first served- ordering ahead is a good idea.
Please do not type our address into Google Maps- you’ll get lost! Use the coordinates. You can also type “Swallowtail Flowers” into Google Maps.
