Join us Sunday, June 6th for the flower pop-up our hearts wait for every year! Susan Jory Interiors and Tania Floral Design are pleased to announce the Fifth Annual Blackfriars Heirloom Peony Pop Up. Year 5?! Oh, how the time glows! Year 5 is definitely a "glow up" from year 4! This year looks a little different than the wonder years of 1 through 3, but we humbly agree that it's a step up from last year's lockdown. We hardly even saw your shining faces last year and were only able to do pick-ups. Not a stroll through the gardens was permitted! Anyhow, we're inching back to a semblance of normal and for that we are grateful...
We warmly welcome you to stop, smell the peonies and acquaint yourself with Blackfriars’ best kept secret, if you're somehow not familiar already!?
On Sunday, June 6th in the heart of Blackfriars you can find us designing bouquets comprised of a mix of over 50 varieties of heirloom peonies, some of which have been growing on this heritage property for over a century. 81 Wilson Avenue is a very special place, for many lovely reasons. Not only is this where Susan and her family dream, create and live but it is also a home brimming with marvelous heritage. Built in 1855, this heritage home was owned by Alexander Leslie - the nurseryman of our dreams! Originally sitting among 20 acres of land, Mr. Leslie’s home was surrounded by the richest soil and a labor of irreplaceable love supplying flowers for local markets, and florists across The Forest City. Today, 81 Wilson Ave holds on tight to an acre of land and employs a legacy of iris, peony, lilacs, roses, cherry, apple and plum trees - just to name a few!
We would love for you to meet us in garden (safely, at a distance and with masks on), celebrate heritage, community and the bounty that nature showers us with everyday. And what better way to invigorate your heart and home than with fresh peonies...
Due to Covid-19, we ask that you would wear a mask, stay 2 metres apart from your neighbour and if you wish to take a stroll through the gardens, we will be following the 5 person guidline. We ask for your patience if attending, as the wait for pick-ups will be a tad longer than normal just to ensure all safety protocols are in place. We would also like to *HIGHLIGHT* that purchasing peonies will be by pre-order only. In past years, you've been able to purchase on site however we'll be operating with pre-orders this year to ensure safety for all.
