ABOUT US

We’re the Halls – the proud owners of The Blooming Lion, formerly Peninsula Out Of Doors.

I (Jessie) grew up in Wiarton and spent my childhood working for my parents’ business – Deacon’s Hardware Store. 

My husband, Dustin, grew up in the Hamilton area and always had his hands in the dirt! He worked for the family landscaping business and then started his own construction landscaping venture.

As we looked for a way to move our young family back up to the Peninsula, we can honestly say the stars aligned here – purchasing Peninsula Out of Doors in 2022 was a dream come true.

The original owners, Don and Wendy Cameron, “handed over the watering wand”, and we are honoured to continue the legacy that they championed for over 30 years – quality products, superior customer service, and competitive prices.

In 2024 we truly made this place our own when we rebranded to The Blooming Lion.

With over 12,000 square feet of greenhouses, we plant the majority of our stock. We do all of the hanging baskets ourselves and seed the majority of our veggies, filling thousands of pots to slowly but surely fill up all 8 of our greenhouses.

The Blooming Lion is your all-in-one stop for annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, and aggregates. Stop in and stroll through the greenhouses, browse through the gift shop, and leave inspired to get your hands dirty.

We hope to see you soon!
