These sites have expanded their printing to go beyond the wall art of print, poster, canvas, etc.  They now print on fabric for tote and studio bags, pillows, duvets, scarves, etc.  They compete with Zazzle for cases and skins, stickers, t-shirts and clothing, home decor, stationery, etc.

In addition to the sales aspects, these art sites have community and group functionality to feature and showcase works based on a theme, interest, location, etc.  I host "All Glorious Gardens" on Redbubble:

Ontario's Autumn - Brock Road Nursery in Guleph

Hi everyone,
We get beautiful Autumn colours in northern Ontario. With Niagara being more temperate, there isn't always a brilliant show.  Yesterday, I noticed that the Virginia Creeper along Highway 8 just below the escarpment is a brilliant red.  The Virginia Creeper along the QEW, which is closer to the lake is a dull red.  This small temperature difference has a significant effect in Autumn colours. 

Guelph's colours had started earlier in the week, and Brock Road Nursery had some pretty maple trees turning brilliant orange.  Along with their rustic building and chrysanthemum show, the scene seemed to be an idyllic Ontario Autumn day.  It was a wonderful nursery - perennial plants are available for the garden.  It had personal touches everywhere, and all the people there were friendly, knowledgeable gardeners.  It was a treat to experience a garden centre with a heart.  I happily took away some viola pansies in soft blue for the Autumn containers.

My own garden centre in Grimsby, Cole's, is this kind of nursery too.  It has lots of perennials available for planting with discounts to motivate us to finally purchase the things we've wanted but seemed too expensive.  







If you live in Guelph or are planning to visit, here's the website:
