Spring is upon us and seasonal businesses are beginning to reopen.

Rock Garden Farms in Caledon East is opening for the 2023 season on March 31 and will remain open all Easter weekend too. 

General manager of Rock Garden Farms, Margaret Galati, said preparations for the year have been going great and that she and her team are excited to get back out and see their customers. 

“It’ll be very spring-like once we open our doors… we’ll have hydrangeas and tulips and pansies,” said Galati. “Things to make us all feel good.”

Galati is excited for the growing season in Ontario, and said it’s been a long winter buying expensive produce from out of the country. 

“It’ll be nice to support our local farmers, and prices should adjust accordingly,” said Galati. “That’s one exciting thing about seeing a local farmers market like mine open for the spring.”

Galati said gardeners are getting excited to start the growing season and that she’ll have starter plants available beginning in mid-April. In May, the greenhouse at Rock Garden Farms will be open and in June, Strawberry picking will begin on the twentieth. 

“We’re just excited,” said Galati. “Hopeful to see everyone slowly trickling back.”
