2023 Closed for the Season
The farm will be taking a sabbatical and will be closed in 2023. As I’m sure you can appreciate, this was not an easy decision. The past 3 years have been especially challenging and we must take some time for ourselves. Please make alternate plans for your plant purchases in 2023 and we will return in 2024, re-energized and ready to assist with beautifying your gardens. Thank you for your understanding and continued loyalty.
Complete Outdoor Services Inc
Operating at full capacity
Please note that the farm sabbatical will not affect any of the work undertaken by our sister company Complete Outdoor Services Inc. Our Garden, Landscape and Grass crews will be operating at full capacity in spring 2023.
The Flower Farm Story
Cut and Dried Flower Farm is a family owned greenhouse business located close to Glencairn, Ontario. The farm is owned and operated by Katie Dawson and husband Chris Martin.
We both bring extensive horticultural training and experience to our business and since 1989 have also operated Complete Outdoor Services Inc., our landscaping and property maintenance company.
Growing Since 1993
In 1993 we established Cut & Dried Flower Farm to greenhouse grow a range of annual and perennial plants. For 8 years we also grew fresh cut and dried flowers, opening our fields for Pick Your Own Flowers. With time, the farm evolved and in 2001 we stopped growing cut flowers and expanded the greenhouse side of the business. Now, our farm has grown to over 10,000 sq feet of greenhouse space where we grow a full and unique range of plants. Visit Cut and Dried Flower Farm and you will find a gorgeous selection of top quality Annual Flowers and Foliage; Vegetables and Herbs; Fruit Plants; Hanging Baskets and Planters and Perennials, all grown on the farm. Locally grown Shrubs and Roses are also available. In addition to our plant range, we also offer a selection of soils and mulches.

We are so fortunate to have such dedicated and wonderful staff to both grow and sell our plants
Biological Controls
We aim to make our farm a healthy place to live, work and play. For pest and disease control in the plants, we successfully use biological control methods, introducing natural predators to control pest populations.
