We’re so excited with our newest purchase! This cute little gypsy style “Dragon Wagon” is going to get a make over before becoming a portable pop up shop for our plants, other items and perhaps even some of our workshops. Watch the progress on our website and social media platforms, …
As we enter the fifth period of Sail or Saille (the letter S) from April 15-May 12, we find those born under this sign to be great observers and quite intuitive. They look at everything as a life lesson and are down to earth patient types. Incidentally, Sail means willow …

The Celts consisted of many different tribes, but collectively were the largest group of ancient Europe.

Lakes, rivers, trees, and …

Although it may be difficult to think about it now while the summer days are still warm and the lake is calling, school is just around the corner. This makes it a great time for teachers, home schoolers, day homes and other groups to think about adding exciting and creative …
Finally I had a chance to experience the Alberta Mycological Society’s annual event at the U of A Botanic Garden, and boy was it worth it! For the regular price of admission to the gardens (located just north of Devon, just SW of Edmonton), one could peruse the fabulous display …
As our game camera popped up more pictures the other day, I was totally expecting deer, elk, coyote, maybe a moose. At first I was at least impressed with the clarity of a shot of a mallard drake in flight. Not blurry at all. Kinda cool. It also means the …
Things are coming together nicely for our Earth Mother Spring Tea! We are so thankful to have the Earth Wisdom Centre just 25 minutes NW of Edmonton for this event.

As we have been getting more attention from out of province lately, I thought it would be a good time to go over a few things regarding shipping live plants. Although we would love to, we do not ship live plants out of province due to the potential risk of …
Since we’re past the halfway point for January, 2022 I though I should take a few moments to reminisce about our podcast before I get too wrapped up in the new growing season. It’s hard to believe it’s already been just over a year since we released our first episode …

(Picture via a game camera out at the family farm by Entwistle a few days before this article was published. Note the natural unfenced wildlife corridor leading through the hay field. The elk travel through every few weeks and are able to get to their next destination stress free. Other …
I am a mother to my child, to my animal companions, to my plants and to the natural world around me. I have loved and lost my own mother. I have watched others become mothers, aunts, grandmothers and best friends. I have made mistakes. I have learned from those mistakes. …
One of the side effects of gardening and yard work is often weeds. In small amounts and for certain purposes this is not always a bad thing. When weeds spread uncontrolled however, they can cause multiple problems. Listen to our latest episode of Regenerative Landscapes to get a better idea …
Potted trees take up the most space at our nursery and we need to make room for new spring stock, so from March 25 – April 30, 2021 take advantage of our sale pricing and do that shelter belt, reclamation piece, fire wood grove or what have you. These trees …

Medieval Manor Gardens is proud to be a part of the TransEd Valley Line LRT project. Multiple areas along the route had to be cleared for construction, before which time we collected native seed from along the river valley in order to propagate native species to revegetate the areas upon …
Perhaps you will purchase some new plants from Medieval Manor Gardens, or maybe you will begin wild harvesting some of your own in the area that you reside. Great! Now you might start to think, “So now what do I do with them?”. Though they have been around long before …
From June 10th to July 7th of the Celtic Zodiac look for the rock solid stabilizing capabilities of Oak to come into play. Those born under this sign are positive, confident, and just beings. Oak is long lasting and one of the most sound building materials. Bur Oak is a …
