Recently started bird feeding and was struggling to get birds on my feeder with store bought feed…read moreand was recommended by the local community to give these guys a visit. I talked to the folks at Bogle seeds about how to get birds on the feeder and what kinda seeds to use, they didn't try to upswell me at all in fact discouraged me from getting some of the items that were in their store saying I don't really need it right now(like the squirrel buster). I bought they seed mix and some sunflower chips and I'm seeing all kinds of birds in my backyard, cardinals blue jays etc. I am now a regular and get my seeds from there. They also have sunflower field I think in the summer but I'm not sure how it's going to work out during the lockdown.

My husband and I went to this cute farm last weekend and it was worth the visit! I heard about it…read morethrough articles and I was impressed by the pictures of their sunflower fields, which were even more beautiful in person! At certain viewpoints around the farm, it looked like endless fields of tall sunflowers - it was honestly so pretty that it looked like a painting. I had a lot of fun taking so many pictures here - it's impossible not to get beautiful photos here, even if you're just using your phone. There was also a 1.3 km trail around and between the sunflower fields which was scenic and just really nice to walk around them on a summer's day. The sunflowers are currently at their peak and usually around for about 2-3 weeks depending on weather, so go as soon as possible if you're planning to visit this summer. The sunflowers are also apparently planted every 3 years after this summer so the next time won't be until 2021. When I visited (2nd day of the blooming sunflower fields being open), there were lots of people as expected on that Saturday afternoon but there was still plenty of parking, which is free. Note that there is a $7.50 cash admission fee per person before getting into the grassy parking area. It is very accessible for the elderly and families with babies or small children - several were walking on the trails with strollers. There is also a little shop inside a barn where you can buy bird seeds and feeders. Some other reminders: wear bug spray as there are definitely mosquitoes around, especially the further you walk into the fields and on the trails. If you're allergic to bees or just hate being around them, there are many of them if you go between the rows of sunflowers so just something to keep in mind. Also, it's really dusty and a bit muddy in some areas between the rows of sunflowers so remember not to wear nice shoes or sandals if you plan on taking pictures in there - I sadly know from experience. Keep these things in mind and you'll have a great time! Enjoy this cute farm!

When we came in mid-October there were still many apples for picking. They had over a dozen…read morevarieties, including some uncommon ones like the Aurora Golden Gala (I had never heard of it but it had thin skin and a delightfully crunchy and slightly tart taste). Remember to bring your own bags or you will need to pay to buy some. Overall I was very happy with my experience. The orchard was very well kept and I truly have never seen such an abundance of apples at any other orchard I've been to. The price was definitely more expensive than buying from the grocery store ($2/lb plus entry fee) but I thought it was worth it for a fun fall activity.

We were pleasantly surprised to find that admission on weekdays is a flat fee of $3.99 vs $5.30 for…read morean adult on weekends. Although, we'd never been apple picking before where there was a fee charged on top of paying for apples. I suppose the fee pays for allowing you to sample (aka eat) apples while you pick them, the wagon ride out to the orchard, the ponies (Ricki & Ginger), a play area for children by the orchard and corn maze among other things. We were happy to find new varieties of apples that we liked while walking along the rows of apple trees. Maybe it was the time of year but the pumpkin patch was looking a little sad. There were plenty of sunflowers to take nice photos by. There are various items for sale other than apples. These include pepperettes, sausages, maple syrup, honey and garlic.

Upon entering we were greeted by a friendly staff member, and I should say, everyone there was super friendly, even to the strange asian outsiders that decided to show up randomly hehe. When we got there, they had already sheared most of the chums, but they still had quite a few left, like the big white one, Nitro. You'd think he was super tuff, cuz he was so big and strong, but he was the biggest baby of all, and kept crying the whole time hehe. He was just yelling and screaming the whole time, poor thing. Some of the other ones were real cool about it, like they didn't care at all, until they started cutting the fur on their heads and they'd start kicking! There's also a small gift shop on site, where they sell alpaca related things, like scarves and vests and stuff. I think they're made of the alpaca wool from the ranch. They also had some feed you could buy. That's the only way the alpacas will come to you, cuz as we all know, animals only like you if you have food lol. This is a fun place to visit for an afternoon, definitely worth the hour or so of driving. It's in Hamilton so you can go to the waterfalls after, or Dundurn Castle, it's super convenient for a day trip!

While your Romaine lettuce was edible, the trip to your new location cost me not only 7 hours in the ER room at Brantford General Hospital today but also the 12.00 in parking I paid for that privilege.

Besides having a rug for customers to walk on, I would suggest you get your construction crew back to rough up your floors especially the wee ramp upon exiting.

We went when the cherry blossoms were beginning to bloom but it was a tad bit early for the other floral arrangements to bloom in their outdoor gardens so it still felt winter-like. We started at one location early in the morning with the Arboretum. That's where you pay $25 to drive your vehicle in. Parking is ample early in the morning but when we left an hour or two later, there was a conga line of vehicles waiting to get in. So, yes you have to be there at least at around 8 AM if you don't want to wait in line or find parking. Parking is free at the main RBG region with their inside greenhouse region plus their outside garden. What I didn't like was that you had to drive out afterwards to go to the Rock Garden where you had to show your tickets again for entrance. Parking was still free though. So, overall, a lot of driving from one location to another (at least three) and a lot of walking. If you want to bring slow-walking seniors, good luck. It's beautiful scenery but a lot of walking involved.
