Our Story
We’re a small, family-run garden centre and gift shop that’s been part of the Brockville community for decades. Donna, the owner, has been a horticulturalist for over 40 years and now runs Green Things alongside her son, Derek.
She managed the store for many years before officially taking it over in 2010 and turning her dream of owning a garden centre into reality. Whether you’re here for plants, gifts, or help with your outdoor space, we’re always happy to see you!
Landscape Design & Installation
Transform your outdoor space with expert landscaping services!
With over 30 years of horticultural experience, Donna can help you design the perfect flower beds, gardens, or yard layout. Derek leads our installation team and has spent more than a decade bringing custom garden designs and backyard visions to life. From concept to completion, we guide you every step of the way.
