Property Description

Century Home & Award-Winning Nursery – Gardens Plus. Tucked in the heart of Donwood lies a property unlike any other: a charming century home seamlessly paired with one of Ontario’s most celebrated perennial nurseries, Gardens Plus. This rare offering represents more than real estate— it’s a legacy, a lifestyle, and an entrepreneurial dream rolled into one. For nearly 30 years, Gardens Plus has flourished under the stewardship of its current owners, transforming into a sanctuary of blooms, colour, and community connection. Recognized as the #1 Garden Center in the Peterborough region in 2022 and 2024 (and a finalist in 2023 and 2025), the nursery has earned a reputation for quality and care, proudly offering only Canadian-grown plants sourced from Ontario greenhouses and fields. Its loyal customer base extends far beyond the region, with a strong online presence and an impeccable word-of-mouth reputation. The property itself tells a story of timeless charm. The lovingly maintained century-style home exudes warmth and character, offering an inviting retreat surrounded by thoughtfully curated display gardens. Each morning begins with birdsong and sunrise over vibrant perennial beds—an inspiring backdrop for both daily living and meaningful work. For the next owner, opportunity abounds. This is a turnkey business with established income streams, but its potential is far from tapped. Reintroducing Canada-wide shipping, hosting seasonal workshops, or curating garden tours are just some of the ways new owners could expand on an already thriving operation. The stage is set for those who dream of merging country living with entrepreneurial spirit, while continuing the proud tradition of sustainability and community connection that Gardens Plus represents. At its heart, this property is more than a home, and more than a business. It is a lifestyle— one that invites you to wake with the sun, work among blossoms, and take pride in nurturing a legacy that has already touched countless lives. Rarely does such a unique package come available, blending heritage charm, natural beauty, and proven business success in one truly remarkable offering.
