Oh, can't thou feel it upon the breeze? 🌿 In these fair Maritimes, Mother Nature has at last lifted her frosty decree and granted us the long-awaited blessing of spring!

In but seven days’ time, we embark upon our very first outdoor market of the season—and we are positively brimming with excitement (and perhaps a touch of dramatic anticipation) here at Another Shrubbery.

To mark this joyous occasion, a new potion hath been crafted: Honey Lemon Hibiscus—a bright and blooming delight, fit for sipping beneath the warming sun.

Join us on May 2nd (or May 3rd, should the rain gods grow mischievous) at the Violet Festival, held within the lovely Saint John Public Gardens, 48 Seely Street, Saint John.

Come forth, wander the gardens, and partake in a taste of spring! 🌸

Hear ye, hear ye! Great tidings have arrived by way of the inbox scroll! 📜

The good folk of the Garrison Night Market have summoned us once more—and not for a fleeting visit, but for the entire season! Canst thou believe it? We certainly required a moment (and perhaps a celebratory sip) upon reading such news.

So ready yourselves, Fredericton, NB—for this summer, we ride (well… drive) down the highway once more, bottles in tow and flavours at the ready!

Salad with turkey bacon, sliced deli turkey meat, salad greens from the Farmer's Market, carrots from the Market, leftover cheese from my daughter's pizza kit fundraiser, various herbs from the garden, the last of our olives from the fridge, and ranch dressing. I also ended up buying a hot dog from the kids across the street because they have a snack stand up.
