Welcome!

We just got back from our first ever cruise. The Caribbean was a great place to recharge and admire greenery in the wintery months. Check out our Facebook page as I will be sharing some of the planty things I saw throughout our vacation. 

Now it’s back to stratifying more seed and updating the website. I’m thinking of offering some of the more reliable species for preordering this season, so let me know if you think that would be a good idea. Basically you could prepay for certain plants to make sure they are available, and you pick up or arrange for delivery when planting time comes around.

With the arrival of the new moon, we will begin unveiling the first chapter in our Calendar of Teachings for 2026. Stay close so you don’t miss it! 

Our Crewyrs (Creators) Tribe will be looking for new members to help us put in our Celtic Spiral Garden, Maypole, and Native U-Pick Garden (whhaat??? You’ll have to keep checking back for when we release more info about these exciting projects!). We also need to get our lambing jugs ready and our ram shed and additional fencing in shape for spring and summer pastures. Of course there will be Alberta Open Farm Days again and possibly some other events. If you enjoy learning, sharing your knowledge and skills, especially in the areas of construction, gardening, livestock, and people, this might be for you! Volunteers get to learn, try out our products at no charge, and receive discounts on our upcoming workshops. You may even be able to get hired on as part time staff if the fit is right. Interested individuals can contact me at dawnw@mmgardens.ca.

We just have the business plan remaining to complete in the Firecircle Program. It is so worth the investment as it will guide Medieval Manor’s path in the short and long term. If you are considering starting a new business in the tourism sector, have an Indigenous led or rural-type business, consider this program. 

If you have a group interested in having us run a workshop or hike for you at your location or ours, or are looking for some consultation regarding a planting project, by all means, contact us to arrange something. We do not take any deposits until we know it’s a go, and we can always change dates if required.

We currently do not generally ship live plants out of province as they are overwintered outdoors to ensure hardiness, and may therefore contain organisms not native to other places. Some areas near us can receive free shipping, so please inquire if you are unsure or if our website is not cooperating. 

Teachers, groups, and corporate team builders, a great idea for this spring or next fall, is to arrange for one of our in-person workshops or tours. Whether you wish to create a mini ecosystem (woodland faerie, prairie, or puddle garden), go on a nature walk, or engage with and learn from our unique livestock and regenerative farming practices, MM Gardens can create an experience just for you! Contact us at info@mmgardens for details.

Gift certificates are a great way to gift something in advance or if you are unsure of what someone may like. Delivery is also available to a number of areas.

We aim to provide completely immersive nature and agricultural experiences and products to educate

and connect people back to the land, thus instilling a desire to take action regarding the health of Mother Earth and her children.    

Stay safe, and thank you for supporting local business and going back to your roots to grow your future.

Dawn Watts,

Owner and creator of Medieval Manor Gardens
