About Made in the Shade Perennials Inc.

Made in the Shade is a nursery dedicated to growing large, high quality perennials for both sun and shade. We like to think that Made in the Shade is a state of mind, not just the name of the company.   We invite you to come and explore the gardens, take time to look at the many varieties of plants, both perennial and otherwise, enjoy the birds, and perhaps simply enjoy an excursion to the country. Made in the Shade serves both retail customers and landscapers at our convenient site or by delivery on larger orders. Our plants are specially selected to thrive in Eastern Ontario and all of our stock is grown on site.

Laura Tattersall is the founder and CEO of Made in the Shade Perennials Inc., established in 2006.

Her business plan won start-up support in the First Capital Challenge in 2006. Lynn Tattersall (daughter of Laura) has re-joined the company in 2010, now as a full time employee. She first worked as a summer student in 2006. She has grown up around the horticulture business and is now taking on a challenging role at the nursery leading the production team, as well as helping with sales.
