Sweetpea's Inc

The floral bouquets from Sweetpea’s are original and tasteful. Owner Sara Jameson maintains a team of full-time dedicated florists who fashion arrangements for everyday occasions as well as larger events and weddings. “There is nothing cookie cutter about what comes out of this shop,” says Sara.

And the flowers at Sweetpea's are more than just pretty arrangements; they represent a commitment to environmentally responsible products and principles in every respect. Sara cuts the store’s carbon footprint by purchasing locally grown flowers whenever possible and supporting Ontario’s extensive flower growing industry. When she does buy imported flowers, they’re harvested from socially and environmentally responsible farms.

Bouquets are wrapped in biodegradable cellophane (one of the only shops in the province to carry this type of packing material). All stationery is printed on paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. The staff even go so far as to launder their own towels rather than using paper towels or a commercial service.

Very few flowers within the carefully stocked fridge at Sweetpea’s are ever wasted. Those that are past the point of retail sale are donated to local senior communities and horticultural therapy programs. Leftover seeds and fall bulbs are donated to nearby schools and community projects. Sara truly believes that you reap is what you sow when it comes to supporting her beloved Roncesvalles neighbourhood.
