My Secret Garden

 I know my flowers, and I know my city, and believe me, there is a load of talent here. If you want unique, designer, gorgeous and all around lovely, then you need to dip into the extraordinary world of My Secret Garden Design and Event Planning.

Previously located at No. 84 1/2 Albert Street in the Exchange (they are moving to the new address below!), My Secret Garden started out as a home based business, which quickly developed a sizeable event/wedding clientele (for good reason!) Part Harry Potter, part Dickensian Curiosity Shoppe, the store was formerly located in a turn of the century former carriageway, from which tearing yourself away used to be impossible. I've definitely had the pleasure of visiting them on one of my many walks through the Exchange, and it's always been a delight. Whether you're looking for a same-day takeaway bouquet (oh God, the rhymes!), or 100 centerpieces for a gala, they can set you up.

Not just looking for flowers? What makes My Secret Garden unique is that they not only specialize in the floral accents, but are also an event planning and consultation firm. They offer event planning, rentals, eco options, garden advice, and gorgeous gifts all in one location. One stop shopping for the win here, ladies and gents!

What cinches it for me is the Bonny Frasier's (owner and designer) philosophy:

"If I can create something beautiful, that touches someone on an emotional level and also pushes the boundaries of traditional floral design, I will have been successful at turning that passion into a thriving  business."

To view more sensational images from this amazing indie Winnipeg business, check out their galleries, or even their blog, which provides a few more epic photos from their various events about town (so much eye candy, eee!)

Although they are no longer located at the 84 1/2 Albert Street location (tear), they are still available for orders via phone or email!  Their epic services are also still available, including having unique hand-tied bouquets, roses, lilies or orchids delivered to you or a loved one on a monthly basis, and other offers for annual special occasion deliveries, roses, and pre-ordering discounts (see Shop Flowers for more details).
