The garden has been evolving since 2020. First with some fantastic heirloom tomatoes from a handful of rows, to 30 beds of diverse primarily heirloom vegetables in 2023. With many projects on the go, we are starting with a small weekly food box to our Jardin Club subscribers in the summer of 2025, offering tomatoes, greens, cucumbers and more.

Fruit Forest Orchard

The orchard is coming along. We have a wide variety of trees on the go including apples, pears, peaches, and mulberry. We also have vines and shrubs well on their way to producing fruit in the next year or two. We have raspberries, strawberries, currants, grapes, paw paws, passion fruits, figs, lemons and persimmons all on the go. We also have butternut, hazelnuts, and black walnuts starting on their growing journey.

Tree Farm

Since 2020, we have been building our supply of trees and perennials to build up a locally grown farm. Red Oaks, English Walnuts, and Mulberry are underway as we expand into other areas for locally grown perennial plants.

Regenerative Soil Applications and Sprays

Not all lawn and garden and farm treatments are created equal. Many work against nature and not with it. We use nature to help nature. At Jardin Street, we know that nature knows best. What do you find in a healthy lawn? Worms. What else do you find in nature - leaves, plant materials, wood chips, and burnt wood.

Jardin Street creates a unique tonic or spray that will promote and support healthy plant growth on your property by mimicking nature.

So we take the worms and use their casting (yes, their poop) to create a vermicompost. We take leaves, plant materials, and wood chips to make compost that is high in nutrients. We take wood and make biochar. Working with nature to get the most out of each component. Then we develop sprays that bring nature back to the soil.

This strategy works with nature to promote living, healthy soils.

Our Farm

Allan and Kenneth McMillan went west to the gold rush in the 1880s. Although they never returned to Glen Nevis, they did send money to buy the farm. Our farm has been in the family for almost 130 years and was a dairy farm for the bulk of it.

Lee Jardin from Montreal and Nicole Jardin from Calgary are working the farm again. In 2020, we started planting the orchard, and in 2023, the market garden is now open. Using regenerative and sustainable agricultural methods, the focus will be on producing safe, locally grown and naturally produced, nutrient dense foods.
