There are many shops to choose from in big cities like Toronto but when it comes to the country side the choices become more limited. In the Kawartha Lakes there are many flower shops to choose from, we are going to introduce you to some of the best in Ontario!
Let's start off in Lakefield, Ontario, about 160KM from Toronto.
Situated on the banks of the Trent-Severn Waterway, Lakefield boasts a relaxed atmosphere and welcoming residents that have attracted visitors for generations. The region is vibrant with various activities, stores, and dining options, catering to a diverse audience. Whether indulging in luxuries, stocking up on essentials, or accessing amenities, Lakefield provides easy access to all. The Village offers numerous ways to discover its charm – from strolling the Lakefield Trail to kayaking along the waterway, or even utilizing the bike share program at the marina to explore the historic downtown on two wheels. Engage in the local culture through festivals, events, and performances, savoring locally-sourced dishes and enjoying activities like bird watching at Imagine the Marsh or showcasing your talent at the skateboard park.
Most accommodations are conveniently located just a short walk from the water, allowing visitors to unwind in peace after a full day of adventures. Experience firsthand the attractions of Lakefield and its surroundings!
The following history is sourced directly from the Trent Severn Trail Town website.
Settled in 1831 by Colonel Samuel Strickland, the village of Lakefield is often considered the gateway to cottage country in Peterborough & the Kawartha's.
Nestled in its downtown core sits Christ Church, built in 1853, which now serves as a seasonal museum that houses area artifacts and items related to the writings of famed residents Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill (sisters of Lakefield’s founding father); and Margaret Laurence. This museum is one of nearly forty historical locations in the village, including Lakefield College School, Hillside Cemetery, Reydon Manor and the sites of former wooden boat and canoe manufacturers.
Originally sustained by the sawmill industry, Lakefield is now a prosperous community supported by small business, specialty retail and tourism, along with international companies.
At Lakefield Flowers & Gifts the priority is to customize the bouquets and floral decorations to match your personal style and budget, whether you lean towards classic elegance or modern sophistication. When organizing your wedding or event, selecting a theme can enhance the experience. Themes such as Island Paradise, Victorian Garden Party, Holiday Winter Wonderland, Butterflies, Military Wedding, Traditional Celtic, and other creative concepts are available for your consideration.
Wedding flowers are a lasting memory that will always evoke special moments from the day you and your partner celebrated together. Therefore, it is crucial to choose something that truly reflects your style and preferences.

For the past 6 years my mom Tina Dummitt and I have been working at Lakefield Flowers And Gifts, and we have recently become the new owners! Over the last couple months my mom has been my rock when it comes to running the business and on top of that she also has been rocking her job at Charlea's Riverside Gardens by planting and growing every single day. She is the epitome of hard work and has been my biggest role model in life, I wish to one day reach her level of beauty and dedication. This Mother’s Day was our first one as business owners and it would not have been a success without her as Tina made 95% of the hundreds of vase arrangements we had this weekend on top of keeping track of all the customers and helpers we had, so if you got a stunning arrangement for Mother’s Day from us, odds are it was made by my mom Tina Dummitt. So Happy Mother’s Day to my stunning mom and all the other amazing Mother’s out there, your hard work does not go unnoticed!

I came to realize at a young age that flowers and plants hold a very special place in my heart. They fill a room with sunshine. Flowers can brighten a day for those we love and appreciate.
Over the years, I’ve developed my own gardens, worked in a greenhouse, and then later established a garden design business.
