About
us
To our valued customers:
It’s our 12th year in business! Unbelievable.
We can’t wait to get planting for our 2025 season! As many of you know, these past couple years have been one for the books. There have been lots of struggles, but gardening has been one escape we've enjoyed to get away from the realities of our world. We are thrilled to announce, with 12 months of meticulous planning, WE’RE BACK IN FULL SWING AGAIN! We’ll have a wonderful selection of premium annuals, perennials, hanging baskets, container gardens and veggies!
This year, we will not be accepting containers for custom orders. However, we will have a U-POT station where you can bring your containers to fill and plant yourself with all the plants you wish. Of course, we’ll be there to help you with container design and any other questions you may have.
We are also excited to announce the continuation of a blossoming partnership with Terrington Coop in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
If you are visiting us, feel free to make an order for pickup!
Our opening day is to be announced soon!
See you when we see you!
Our Name; Our Brand
Ever wonder why we're called 'Blue Spade'?
It's a family thing. To identify his shovels, rakes, and other tools from other people's, Ian's grandfather, Hedley Normore, painted the handles of his tools in a bright blue paint; the same color that is commonly known as 'L'Anse au Loup Blue.' If you're lucky, you'll see the famous blue shovel around--it's still in commission today!
