Welcome to Green Stroke, unique Toronto landscape design company specializing in
gardening with perennials. Our work varies from small city backyards to the vast
spaces of golf courses...
We hope you will enjoy the improvements we have made to our website. We have
added new helpful features and kept old popular elements. You still will be able to
access Genius Loci Fine Flowers run by my wife Grace, check our photo gallery or
read gardening tips. Due to popular demand we have extended Gardens section. Now
there is even more gardens we have designed and built. You can check different
elements of each garden or stroll through the seasons in these gardens. Newly added
slide show (or picture set if no Flash in the browser) on each page showcase our
newest creations. New and improved plant search methods will help you find the
perfect perennials for those demanding spots in your garden. To make it even better
there are pages where you can find lists of plants for butterfly or shade gardens select
the right ornamental grasses or groundcovers for a specific site or verify plants that you
want to steer clear off because of their toxicity. If you are trying to reduce water usage
there is a list for you as well, just open Xeriscape Plants page. Be sure to check our
Gardening Tips section where good gardening advice is abundant. There is one more
new element on pages of our website. We publish landscape design and gardening
daily and weekly papers where you can find valuable information related to the green
field. You can find embedded links to these papers throughout the pages of this
website, enjoy the reading :)
At Green Stroke we are proud to be one of the few who design gardens with you and
plants in mind. Short gardening season in Toronto can be easily extended by
incorporating flowering bulbs and perennials into our gardens. Six extra weeks of
bloom in early spring and even more in late fall is almost a given if proper plants are
selected. If you like to garden, if you adore perennials, ornamental grasses and
flowering bulbs and if you live in Greater Toronto Area give us a call or email us.
We can change the moods, set the tones and relax the tensions by appropriate plant
arrangements. If butterflies are your pals and pesticides are not, we are a dark horse
of a new environmentally sensitive landscape designer's breed. We will bring back
native plants to you and re-establish the equilibrium between you and nature.
Beauty of style
And harmony and grace and good rhythm
Depend on simplicity.
PLATO
For many years I've tried to understand these words
For many times I've come close to achieving it
For many days I've built the enchanted places.
For every man there is a dream
For every place there is a spirit
For every child there is a smile.
