To our valued customers:
It’s our 13th year in business! Unbelievable.
We can’t wait to get planting for our 2026 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 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 tradition. To make sure his shovels, rakes, and other tools didn’t get mixed up with anyone else’s, Ian’s grandfather, Hedley Normore, painted the handles of his tools a bright blue—the same shade commonly known as “L’Anse au Loup Blue.”
That simple mark of bright blue became a symbol of hard work, pride, and a love of the land. Today, the story lives on in our name: Blue Spade Greenhouse.
And if you’re lucky, you might still spot the famous blue shovel around—it’s still in commission today.
