Spring is officially underway, and Maple Leaf Farms is excited to announce that we are open starting today, March 7th for the 2026 season.
After a long winter, we are getting everything ready for another incredible year at the garden center. Our greenhouses are filling up, plants are waking up, and we are preparing for one of the best seasons yet.

Early Spring Plants Are Already Here
Even though the season is just getting started, we already have some beautiful early spring color available.
Pansies and violas are in stock now, bringing bright color and life back to planters, garden beds, and entryways. These cold hardy favorites are perfect for early spring planting and can handle the cooler temperatures that March and early April often bring.
Our greenhouses are also full of annuals that are currently growing and getting ready for the upcoming weeks, so the selection will only continue to expand as spring progresses.
The Pots and Planter Selection Is Huge This Year
One thing customers always look forward to each year is our massive selection of pots and planters, and this season we went even bigger.
We have a huge variety of:
Ceramic pots
Decorative planters
Porch containers
Garden accents
And much more
If you are looking to refresh your outdoor spaces this spring, this is the perfect place to start.
And the best part?
Our prices beat our competitors.
We are known for offering some of the best prices around, and our pot and planter deals are no exception. We will be posting more about those deals soon, so make sure to stay tuned for upcoming announcements.
