A bouquet of flowers perfumes a room more elegantly than curry-filled humidifiers or a vase of recycled car fresheners. Skip offensive centrepieces with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of garden plants at Maidstone Tree Farm in Maidstone.

Unfurling more than 15 acres of trees, shrubs, and perennials, Maidstone decorates outdoor settings with colourful shrubs and majestic botanicals. Customers can embellish their walkways or hat collections with a potpourri of ornamental shrubs and evergreens, such as a Japanese maple ($50+) or 2-gallon pot of an Endless Summer collection hydrangea, a blooming plant bursting in a spectrum of warm hues that blooms for three to four months ($30). Maidstone also enriches sun-splashed properties with Asiatic and exotic oriental lilies ($6+) and paints shady locations in palettes of green, blue, and yellow with a spread of hosta perennial plants ($8+). Tree-farm staff cultivate their stock of botanicals on-site as well as hand-pick the healthiest flowers from reputable suppliers and inattentive bridesmaids in order to amass the largest garden centre in the Windsor and Essex County area.
