Payment:
We accept in-store payment by Visa, MasterCard and
American Express; debit/Interac; and cash. For
in-store services (such as photocopying, scan/fax and laminating,
as well as office supply purchases) established customers
may pay on account. All design jobs require a minimum 50% deposit.
All design and
website client account invoices are net due.
 Landscaping:
We feature deer-resistant and drought-resistant plants in our
outdoor garden displays. In spring we feature hyacinths in the
west flower box (Feb.-Mar.), and in June through August we have
bright orange marigolds and sometimes pink begonias. In September-October
we perk up the display with some red and gold chrysanthemums.
In December we have a happy Christmas cactii indoors and a
poinsettia or two.
Our thanks to
Karen Longland at Double D Gardens for deer-resistant shrubs and advice.
Thanks to Donald Mills for his help with building the flower
boxes and keeping them tended! In summer the shrubbery flourishes
accented by colourful daisy and marigolds. Rains in
September help the mums and shrubs look
fabulous together. In winter the heather is in blossom.
