About our Sale

Whether you are new to our sale or you are one of our loyal customers who have been coming for years, here are a few things you might want to know about our sale.

History

Back in the mid-nineties, our sale started on one family's driveway in Hamilton, selling some perennials that had been dug up and split from their own gardens. The idea was to raise a few extra dollars for the local Christian school where their children attended.

But just like a healthy perennial, the sale itself grew... and grew... and grew.  Soon enough it had to be transplanted to a larger driveway in Ancaster, down on Lion's Club Road. Some of you who have come to our sale for years still remember that "growth phase" very well.  During that time it expanded from an effort that involved a few families to one that involved a small army of volunteers from the school community.

In 2017 the sale was transplanted once more, this time to Mt. Hope on the property of the Bellstone Christian School, which is the present location of the sale.

Character

Over the past 25 years many things have changed with our sale, but just as many have remained the same.

• 
  We are still a fundraising effort to support Christian education
• We are still entirely run by volunteers, many of whom have their (grand)children attending the Bellstone Christian School
• We still dig up and split our own perennials to sell at the best possible price
• We still don't charge you any tax

Although perennials have always been our main thing, over the years we have added different things to our sale: planters, hanging baskets, annuals, vegetables, garden supplies, and also perennials from local growers to give you more options for beautifying your gardens.
