Always use black earth as a base to fill your pots, and water well as it will freeze up and hold the branches in place. Try and use a variety of mixed greens to create texture and various shades of colour. These are all excellent evergreen boughs to use:

  • Ontario Cedar
  • White Pine
  • Red Pine
  • Spruce

Our most commonly asked questions

Shopping at Gemmell's Garden Center in Smiths Falls

Does Smiths Falls & Brockville have the same inventory?

YES! For the most part, both our Brockville and Smiths Falls locations have the same inventory. All the growing happens at Smith Falls so they will often have what's new first, but we deliver weekly to keep the stock as consistent as possible.

Do you have a clothing boutique in your store??

Yes we do! Each of our locations also has a boutique inside that focuses on Canadian clothing brands for women who want to feel a little fun. We like to say that we started curating clothing because we wanted to find pieces that felt like us.
