What a beautiful post. Thank you so very much.
Thank you Béa. What a caring and professional description of your career path!
We had a white pine providing shade for trilliums, ferns, and bleeding heart. The tree was uprooted in one of our summer storms (neighbour had also recently taken down a tall red cedar on windward side).

Hello Elizabeth, sorry to hear about your white pine. We do have a number of options for native shrubs including a number of viburnums all available now. Our nursery is open Thursdays to Saturdays from 1-5 right up until fall freeze-up (or open by request).
You can find a list of our shrubs (and sizes and growing conditions) at the following link http://www.naturalthemes.com/?page_id=1427
I hope that helps.
