With the bitterly cold weather, it is important to note that lamps emit heat. And artwork warms the soul. With that in mind (and while the boss is on holidays), we’ve decided to blow out our lamps and artwork…From now till the end of February, get between 15% – 50% off artwork (priced individually) and 25% off all lamps! We’re making room for what’s to come.
Not only that…but this is your one-time opportunity this year to get in on an artwork special order. And we’re offering 20% off to you! Just because! All you have to do is come down to Oakridge, browse our catalogue, choose your piece or pieces and place your order with Megan. She’ll give you pricing and ensure that you receive just the right piece that’s perfect for your home.
Orders must be placed by March 31st and orders are being delivered in the first week of June.
Don’t forget we’re open year-round….with lots of new giftware still arriving and warm drinks to soothe your soul
It’s that time if year….exactly one month till Christmas! We’ve been so busy, getting ready for a number of different events and now we’re excited to settle into the spirit of the season. At Oakridge, we have all of your live fresh Christmas decorating supplies available. We use these daily to create stunning outdoor pots, wreaths and centrepieces! All to bring nature into and outside of your home….creating the perfect atmosphere.
From fragrant greens, such as fir, balsam and cedar, to birch, dogwood, curly willow, Alpine Huck, live-cut holly and oregonia.
Oregonia, you ask!…..
A fresh, live green, Oregonia is a wonderful bulk filler for table arrangements or outdoor containers. Oregonia is available in solid green or variegated. It adds character and depth to any live, green arrangement with its long lasting life. For outdoor containers, Oregonia works well. It freezes and looks just like it does inside. As a side note, don’t freeze it if you plan on using it inside…..
Come by Oakridge and ask any of our greenhouse staff about all of our live greens. And don’t forget that we run workshops and can help you put together your own outdoor pots, wreaths and centrepieces, using these great products! See u soon!
At Oakridge, we are well into the swing of Christmas. Being one of our favorite times of year, we get so excited to showcase our vision and celebrate with you! Our Experience Christmas at Oakridge last Friday was a great success and we thank all of you who came out to support our soup kitchen in town “Soups On”.
We have a few special events coming up that we’d love to share with you. This week we are starting our Christmas workshops. We run them every Wednesday evening and Saturday morning. On Wed. at 630pm and Sat. at 10am. Our creative staff will help you design and finish your outdoor container, front door wreath/swag or indoor centerpiece. We use a variety of fresh greens, including balsam, fir, and pine. We also carry holly and large pinecones to add the special finishing touches. Bring your own finishes such as ornaments, stars, berry picks and bows. Really, anything goes! We love to see how your vision transforms into each beautiful personal rendition of Christmas. We’ll also accommodate a larger group of 5-6 or more on any day of the week….just give us a call for details! Bring your girlfriends for a great night out, finishing it with an eggnog latte and cheesecake! While you’re here…check out our 12 doors of Christmas to give you some awesome ideas!
On Saturday, November 23rd, we are having our Greenhouse Grand Opening showcasing our live Christmas Trees, poinsettias and our 12 Doors of Christmas. We have painted 12 doors to give you different ideas for outdoor containers, swags and wreaths. Get excited and deck out your front door, it’s amazing the impact it can make! Enjoy free apple cider and cookies and workshops! After, browse the Garden Store and shop for great Christmas gifts for anyone on your list.

If you’ve never been to one of our Christmas events before…here’s the low down. We love to have a Grand opening, Gala, Debut event…whatever you want to call it, to kick off Christmas. It is our second favorite time of year…right behind the May rush of gardening. This year we are showcasing two homes that are decorated in our vision of a traditional style as well as a modern approach to a smaller condo space. Once you have completed your home tour, we invite you back to Oakridge to enjoy an evening of live music, wine/punch and appetizers. We’ve continued our vision of Christmas back at Oakridge, with as many as 9 different themed trees decorated to the nines. Everything Christmas, you will find here!
