Land of Acknowledgement
Laporte's Nursery & Greenhouses Inc. acknowledges the sacred land on which we operate here in North Bay. This land is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabek Nation and protected by the Robinson Huron Treaty of 1850. This land is occupied by the people of Nipissing First Nation and Dokis First Nation. We are grateful for the opportunity to work together to beautify the yards and homes in which we live.
Annual Flowers and Vegetables
Seeds
Gardening starts in February for those who want to start their own annual flower and vegetable plants from seed. We carry Aimers Organic non GMO and OSC Seeds. We also carry containers, soils, seeding mixes and so much more.
Plants
Our growers grow quite a complete list of annuals. Over 150 varieties from Alyssum through to Zinnias with not a whole lot missing in between.
We have our own growers in southern Ontario who grow many vegetables to transplant stage. Some are broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, onions, peppers, tomatoes and more.
Annual flower and vegetable plants go on sale starting the second week of May, we suggest you not plant them before the first week of June, because of the chance of frost. One exception to this rule is Pansies, as they are a cool weather plant.
We carry hanging baskets and pots in many sizes, types and price ranges..
Pricing is reasonable, please call us.
Beneficial Bugs
Nematodes, Praying Mantis, Lady Bugs.
Hardiness
The items in this catalogue have been chosen with their hardiness to our area in mind. We reside in Zone 4b. The zone numbers run from 1 to 9, 1 being the hardiest. In our area any zone numer 4b or lower will be hardy enough to survive our winters. There are some items listed in this catalogue with a zone 5. These are borderline for our area and would have to be protected against winter damage. All evergreens, trees and shrubs have the zone numbers next to their title in brackets.
